Olivia Seward
Summary
I am a people's person and love to interact with all people no matter their age or ethnicities. Whilst I love encouraging the children to explore, learn and grow with new challenges. In previous teaching roles I always took pride and do it to the best of my ability. I love to be able to share my love of learning and help young tamariki grow in all aspects of their lives without being afraid to give new opportunities a go. I would love to resume my teaching career alongside other teachers who can support me and my long-term growth.
I am highly organised, proactive, and punctual with a team-oriented mentality. I get on with all people and treat everyone equally. I am a flexible, hard worker ready to learn and contribute to team success while gaining knowledge from colleagues.
