What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to support student development and foster a positive learning environment.

I am a passionate educator with a Bachelor of Social Science in Psychology and Industrial Psychology, and a Post Graduate Certificate in Education. My experience spans various roles, including teaching Technology, Life Orientation, and English at Hamptons High School, where I collaborate with experienced teachers to enhance student learning and performance.

In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I have worked as a Speech and Language Teacher, aiding young children in developing their speech and motor skills through engaging activities. My commitment to education extends to my roles as an Education Assistant and Child and Youth Care Worker, where I supported students during the COVID-19 pandemic and assisted teachers with daily tasks.

My diverse experience also includes administrative roles, where I honed my organizational and communication skills. I am dedicated to fostering a positive learning environment and am always eager to contribute to the development of my students.
