## About

```text
At St. Killians College New Inn (GRETB), I taught Engineering up to 5th year and Graphics to 2nd year during my teaching placement and substitute teaching. I also set up and led a tutorial session on a new 3D printer for the teacher.

At Roscommon Community College (GRETB), I taught Engineering Technology up to 2nd year and Graphics to 1st year. I also taught 2nd year students during their first Classroom Based Assessment.

Most recently, I served as a substitute teacher at Clonfert College, Ballinasloe, covering a wide range of subjects from 1st to 6th Year. At Garbally College, Ballinasloe, I worked as a fixed-term temporary teacher covering maternity leave, teaching RE, SEN, O.L. Maths and SPHE.

I graduated from University of limerick with a Bachelor of Technology (Education) in Graphics, Engineering and Technology concurrent with Teacher Education. I also worked as a senior team member at An Tain Bar, helping keep the bar running efficiently and prepared for events.

As a result of all of this experience, I have the ability to develop engaging lesson plans, create educational resources, assess student progress and adapt teaching approaches to suit different learning needs. With a strong interest in technology, engineering and innovative approaches to education, I am keen to apply my teaching knowledge and practical experience to educational content development, learning assessment and AI training projects. I am a motivated, adaptable professional with strong communication, organisational and problem-solving skills.
