Summary

I am a 21 year old from the Central Coast who has a passion for working with children. I am currently working towards my bachelors degree in primary education while working part-time. I have a keen interest in child development and educational psychology, and have implemented the knowledge and skills i've learned so far in my current work with children; which has fostered many positive interactions and relationships. I am looking to start my career in education as an SLSO/support teacher, while continuing my studies. I'm very excited to gain experience in a school environment while continuing to expand my knowledge of working with children.
