Summary

I am a high school graduate, currently studying for a Bachelor of Human Resource Management at the University of Notre Dame. Having completed two out of three years of the course, am expected to graduate at the end of 2024.

I currently work at Holy Cross, Woollahra, as an after-school care Educator. I have experience at other primary schools such as St Charles, Waverley and Reddam, Woollahra. I love working with children as I feel I am able to connect with kids to gain trust and respect from them to ensure they feel safe and secure when under my care/supervision. This role also includes having to interact and speak to parents and other staff members, resolve issues/disputes, cook and prepare food, clean and write reports on certain topics.

I previously was a Dance Teacher at Dance Chora, Clovelly for 2 years, whereby I have successfully shown my capabilities of teaching, planning, routine, structure and looking after children of all ages. This role includes planning lessons each week per class, preparing and choreographing for performances and recitals whilst always ensuring there is fun infused into each class. I am a supportive and enthusiastic teacher, committed to helping each student learn at their own pace. Further, I am very skilled and hardworking, being able to plan and work well with very young students and students new to dance.

Other Responsibilities:

I have several families that have me recurring for babysitting duties. At all times I receive high praise for my work ethic and interaction with the children and extended members of families that I work for.
