Summary
I'm a passionate, high-achieving and motivated graduate secondary teacher, keen to experience rural and remote teaching and provide genuine value to a school community. I grew up in an outer regional area and attended small schools for my education, and have a strong desire to begin my teaching career in a rural or small school setting.
