Flat Bush,Auckland
Summary
A recent graduate from New Zealand Tertiary College in 2024, I obtained my provisional practising certificate and actively engaged in work and study at a home centre throughout my academic journey. I have developed strong relationships with team members at the home centre and practicum centres, collaborating and exchanging teaching strategies. Practical work has enriched my teaching philosophy and provided valuable hands-on experience. Feedback from associate teachers and colleagues confirms my natural talent as an early childhood educator. Highly innovative in designing and setting activities to meet various needs, strong empathy and patience established positive interactions. I excel in building diverse, collaborative and inclusive learning environments. My genuine passion for working with children is evident in my approach of asking questions, taking initiative, actively participating, and immersing myself in their holistic development.
