What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an education role where I can deliver holistic, inclusive learning, support children’s emotional development, collaborate with families and colleagues, and contribute to a strong school community.

I've led Waldorf class cohorts from Grade 1 through Grade 7 at Forest House Waldorf School in Hong Kong and Gaia Waldorf School in Cape Town, integrating storytelling, movement, crafts, and rhythm to support academic, social, and emotional development.

I've also supported lower-primary campus leadership, developed SEN policy guidance, mentored teachers, led parent engagement programmes, and created individual progress plans for learners with additional needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder. My work combines thoughtful classroom practice, pastoral care, family communication, and school-community events.
