Seeking to advance in an environment which allows for collaboration, and ongoing learning between educators. Recognising the significance of developing strong relationships with the team and families, promoting a sense of belonging in the environment for staff, children and families. Through three years of experience, it has become evident that my greatest passion lies in working with children of 3-5 years.

Passionate about creating stimulating programs tailored to children's interests through intentional teaching.
