With my out going nature, I strive to cultivate positive relationships with staff and students. I feel that it is important for students to establish a trusting rapport with educators in the classroom. Within my role , I feel that it is important to foster their confidence and resilience in both life and learning with a fair and balanced approach. I am always working along side the classroom teachers to make sure that every student that I work with gets te best and necessary support possible.
