Summary

I am a skilled and enthusiastic educator with a strong background in supporting student learning and development. With four years of experience as a School Support Officer (SSO), I have honed my abilities in providing academic and emotional support to students, assisting teachers in classroom activities, and implementing behaviour management strategies.

In my six years as an OSHC educator, I have developed a deep understanding of child development and a passion for creating engaging experiences for students outside of school hours. My experience in planning and implementing activities, managing behaviour, and creating positive relationships with students and parents has further enhanced my skills in education.

Combining my experiences as an SSO and OSHC educator, I bring a unique perspective and a comprehensive skill set to any teaching role. I am dedicated to creating inclusive and stimulating learning environments that support the diverse needs of students, and I am committed to continuing my professional development to enhance my teaching practice.
