Summary
I pride myself on being focused and very keen in utilizing the knowledge I learned through my study and my current position as the Learning Support Assistant to work within an environment where I can be a primary assistant to teachers and students. My experience and knowledge that I can bring to the school has developed for my dedication to date working face to face with students and teachers during my work placement, past volunteer and latest work in the classrooms. Being empathetic and having a solid knowledge of diversity within the school community and relating to the needs of individual student are my passion.
Analytical and think strategically in ensuring every student achieves their personal best is my employment objective.
