QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE

My journey to become a high school educator has been an insightful one, inviting me to appreciate that the education profession is complex and constantly evolving. I am approaching my final placement as part of the Bachelor of Teaching/ Bachelor of Arts (Humanities) degree at Australian Catholic University, specialising in History and English. Throughout the completion of previous professional experience opportunities, I gained and developed valuable skills. I taught at an all-girls public high school as well as a co-educational catholic high school whereby I immersed myself within each respective community, embracing their values and upholding their policies. These experiences catalysed profound changes whereby I began to understand myself as an educator, recognise that human experiences are diverse and appreciate that I have the opportunity to facilitate meaningful learning experiences. Teaching is entrenched within many aspects of my life. I have obtained my conditional accreditation to work as a casual educator, offer tutoring services and I am a volunteer Sunday School teacher for primary aged children. These experiences have strengthened my ability to build a strong rapport with students’, scaffold/deliver a wide range of lessons, differentiate learning and can consider myself as a reflective educator.
