Summary

Professional and passionate educator with strong background in Far North Queensland, I am highly adaptive with numerous diverse faculty experiences including - Music, Drama, Humanities, English, Food Technology & Design, and HPE. Additionally, I bring my experience working in Indigenous communities to the table, with cultural knowledge and sensitivity always paramount in my teaching. Currently at Kuranda District State College, I recently completed my Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, as I am always willing and enthusiastic about upskilling, or learning a new subject area, or year level. I possesses a versatile skill set and bubbly personality that contributes to being a highly effective team player, as does my experience in multiple subjects and capacities within the secondary school education system. I am eagerly anticipating my next challenge!
