Summary
I am passionate about child development and creating nurturing educational environments. With a foundation in educational theory and child psychology, I am eager to apply effective teaching strategies. Through two impactful teaching practicums, I developed skills in creating inclusive and dynamic learning spaces. My previous experience in IT and retail has strengthened my communication, data management, and organizational abilities, which I aim to apply in a teaching context. I am committed to fostering positive relationships, growth mindsets, and creative learning to help students reach their full potential.
