Summary

Since beginning a career as a teacher in the United Kingdom, I have always aspired to utilise my skills as an educational leader within organisations other than schools. As al leader I have developed outstanding skills in communication, conflict resolution and staff management. I am known for consistently supporting staff, with a talent for developing and implementing successful strategies. I am self-motivated with an assertive and outcome-driven nature, always willing to ask the difficult questions and have high expectations of myself and my colleagues. I work well both independently but also thrive in a team environment, and have the ability to remain calm in pressure situations. I am excited to engage in further learning opportunities and feel that the time is right to move into a new career direction.
