Summary
Holding a Bachelor of Education I have over ten years practical and theoretical Art teaching experience. I have expertise in a wide variety of two and three dimensional media that I have shared with students from year 5 to year 12. I am excited to return to the class room as a CRT. I look forward to supporting and collaborating with educators to facilitate meaningful lessons in a safe inclusive environment that will foster student confidence and engagement.
