Summary

As a passionate undergraduate student at the University of Notre Dame Australia, I have developed a wealth of knowledge regarding a variety of teaching practices and pedagogies. During my internships at various schools in the area, both online and in-person, I was able to put these theories to practice and develop a student-centred philosophy of teaching focused on the motivation, engagement and welfare of students. I am dedicated to improving my professional knowledge and taking on added responsibilities to work in a team environment and become part of the school community.
