Summary

I have recently completed a Bachelor of Primary Education at RMIT university, and I am excited to begin my career as a teacher. Prior to completing my degree, I attained over seven years of experience working with children of all ages, abilities and skill sets. I have developed sound skills surrounding how to allow children to flourish in different educational settings, and I have built effective communication skills to ensure that children feel safe and positive within the learning environments that I create. I am looking forward to continuing to build on the skills and knowledge that I have accumulated, and allowing myself to grow through beginning my career as a teacher.
