Summary

As a dedicated teacher, I actively participate in extracurricular activities to build strong relationships with students, fostering trust, rapport, and open communication beyond the classroom. This involvement allows me to better understand students’ needs and interests, ultimately enhancing their overall learning experience.

I have coached a variety of sports teams, including basketball, gaelic football, rugby, and ultimate frisbee, providing students with opportunities to develop teamwork, discipline, and resilience. Additionally, I have been heavily involved in school musical productions, taking on the role of music coordinator during my time at St. Joseph’s, where I helped organize and oversee performances.

Beyond teaching and extracurricular involvement, I am also proficient in first aid, with experience in assessing injuries, providing initial medical assistance, and effectively coordinating with emergency services when necessary. My ability to remain calm under pressure ensures that I can respond quickly and efficiently to any medical emergencies that may arise within the school environment.
