Since I was younger I have always wanted to be a teacher. I have always had a passion for helping others and I knew I wanted a career where I could have the opportunity to impact and help those around me on a daily basis. Being a teacher is more than just teaching content - its about developing the future world changers and helping grow the minds of those in your care.

One of my subject specializations is Mathematics. I have always had a love for the subject since young. Mathematics is a subject an individual makes use of in their everyday life. Not only does mathematics help you to solve problems, it also teaches you how to reason logically and allows you to practice mental discipline.

This is one of many decorative aspects I have added within the school. I believe that teaching our students good morals, kindness and important values is just as crucial as teaching them Mathematics, Languages and Sciences. As teachers, we will have students from various walks of life, cultures, religions and situations. It is important that we teach students the importance of respecting and embracing the differences we possess. My aim is to always create an environment in which my students feel safe and free to express who they are, without having to worry about being judged.

At Hudson Park Primary School, Chromebooks are incorporated into learning. I have become well-conversant with the use of Chromebooks and their incorporation into the syllabus. By using chrome books, a teacher is open to an even larger variety of resources and tools to make learning and teaching more intriguing, enticing and enjoyable. I believe that technology is the future, and it is important to incorporate this where possible into our learning. I am always striving to find exciting, new and inventive resources to help better the learning of my students.

Not only is teaching my passion, but I believe it is my calling. I am excited for each new day. It is the greatest feeling to see students progress academically, on the sports field and in their values and morals. I love this career!
