Summary

I'm an aspiring primary school teacher who is incredibly passionate about educating the next generation and inspiring them to be the best version of themselves. I'm a very people-oriented person and thrive best when I'm directly working with others to achieve a common goal. I'm also proactive, and I believe in constantly looking for ways to do things better, no matter how big or small the task is. As someone who thrives in fast-paced and challenging environments, I also learn very quickly and am able to solve problems on my feet.
