Summary
I am an experienced secondary school teacher with 7 years ofexperience in the classroom across multiple domains. I have recently completed a Master's degree in Guidance and Counselling and am looking for my first professional role in the Catholic Diocese. I have a professional interest in crisis intervention and prevention, including producing research in the area of suicide prevention in secondary schools.
