My Summary

My Experience

I have firsthand experience caring for a younger sibling with Cerebral palsy and communicating in ways that helped him feel comfortable and understood.

This allows me to adapt my communication to meet each child’s needs.

I first worked with children as an environmental education officer at a whaling museum, teaching children about the ocean, its inhabitants, particularly cetaceans and pollution in 2008 to 2010. I then went onto having various jobs working with children, including the pizza making party organizer at Pizza Express in 2012 to 2014.

I decided I wanted to get into education and became a teaching assistant at Dartmouth Academy in 2016/17. I gained experience working with many children of varying needs including a boy with Cerebral palsy whom needed physio exercises done everyday. I loved this job so wanted to become a secondary science teacher as I always loved teaching.

I was a secondary science teacher for 5 years between 2017/18 and 2022/23 in inclusive state schools where I taught hundreds of children with varying capabilities and needs. From high performing A students to classes with student having very complex needs to EAL students.

I also have experience babysitting various friend's and family's children throughout my adult years.
