What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration and supports continuous professional growth.

I am a highly organized and detail-oriented professional educator with experience teaching both primary and secondary students. My background in project coordination, data management, and team collaboration has equipped me to adapt quickly and manage multiple priorities in dynamic environments. I believe in the principles of experiential learning and progressivism, encouraging students to learn not only from textbooks but also through real-life situations, critical thinking, and hands-on experiences.

As a young educator, I strive to create innovative and effective lessons that support diverse learning styles and abilities. My commitment to continuous professional development drives me to foster collaboration among students and colleagues alike. I have successfully managed classroom dynamics, monitored student progress, and maintained accurate records, all while creating a positive and inclusive learning environment.
