Summary

With 27 years teaching experience in Primary Education, I have taught across all class levels, instilling a love for learning in countless students. My journey took a transformative turn five years ago when I began teaching in an Autism Class . This experience has been profoundly rewarding and has deepened my passion for Inclusive Education, particularly in supporting Autistic children through evidence-based practices tailored to their unique needs. I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Inclusive and Special Education, which has further strengthened my commitment to fostering inclusive learning environments that empower all students. I believe in the fundamental right of every child to thrive, and I am dedicated to implementing strategies that enhance their growth and development.

I am committed to Continuous Professional Development and staying updated on best practices in education to ensure I provide the highest quality of instruction and support. My goal is to create enriching learning experiences that not only meet the needs of all learners but also celebrate their individuality and creativity.

I am eager to continue making a meaningful impact in the field of education, advocating for inclusive practices that benefit every child.
