Summary
I am driven by the belief that every student's potential can be unlocked with the right guidance and support. Having spent 8 years in the classroom, I have witnessed the transformative power of effective teaching. Now, I am eager to transition into a new role as a Learning and Development Specialist, with the aim of equipping fellow educators with the tools needed to empower their students and ensure their academic goals are met. My classroom experiences have shown me the importance of personalized approaches to teaching, and I am excited to apply these principles to support other educators in their professional growth.
