Summary
I am currently working as a Teaching Assistant and have gained valuable classroom experience through working alongside teachers. My role is to helping them manage heavy workload by assisting with high needs individuals and handling diverse support tasks. I am great with students and excel at multitasking. Through this experience I have learnt how to implement various strategies to model positive behaviour and maintain classroom discipline.
I have previously worked in the fitness industry as an Instructor and Nutritionist. I am experienced in helping clients at all fitness levels get into shape and achieve their wellness goals. I strongly believe health is a conscious lifestyle choice necessary for longevity and happiness.
As an athlete who has achieved at the top level nationally in rugby, running, cycling and currently triathlon, I have become a self-motivated athletic professional with extensive experience in leadership positions. I manage time efficiently and work well under pressure.
