Summary

Throughout my professional development, I have encountered students of all ages, abilities, backgrounds and learning styles.

As an educator my philosophy is that each person learns differently to the next. We must assess and assist each student by what they are capable of; we must guide, encourage, and build students to reach their most fullest potential.

From eight years of teaching music, to experiencing primary education through university and mainstream/ special needs practicums as an education assistant. I work well in a team, possess clear communication skills. I am patient and understanding, encourage feedback for self improvement and have been told I will be an asset to any classroom I work in.

I am passionate about making the learning environment an inclusive and safe space for every student to grow in. I believe that every child has a right to education and to feel welcome at school.
