Why did I become a teacher? Because I love teaching! For as long as I can remember, my teachers have always been role models who I aspired to be like. Teachers are encouraging, motivating and inspirational, and mine were people that made positive impacts on my life. I want to be able to make a positive impact on my students’ lives too.

​I became a teacher because I want students to have someone they feel safe to turn to when they are unsure, and someone they turn to when they are happy and proud because they feel valued in our professional relationship. I truly believe that educating students is such an important role, and for me, it is that sweet-spot of profession, passion, vocation and mission; teaching is my purpose. Primary school is so important because it is where our students develop the people they are going to become. I want to guide these students to become not only great learners with a passion for education, but life-long learners who contribute positively to society.

Teaching is a profession which rewards me every day, and it is a passion of mine that I will continue to love through the years.
