I am passionate about creating an inclusive learning environment, where all students have the accessibility and confidence to express themselves and reach their full potential. I have a strong interest in the literacy element of education. I believe that reading and writing is for everyone as it can be easily catered to different learning needs and interests. A few of my favourite literacy activities include creative writing, where students can express themselves through personal stories or narratives. I love reading picture story books to children. Some of my favourite children's authors include Mem Fox, Julia Donaldson and Aaron Blabey.
