Presenter:

In 2024, I celebrate my nine years of teaching. Choosing this profession has been one of the most fulfilling things that has happened in my life. I used to be a kindergarten teacher for 5 years, and while I handle a different level now, pre-school will always have a special place in my heart. For four years now, I have been working in our school's Student Support Service as a Grade 2 Language Specialist. My role is to help students who struggle with academics know their goals and seek ways to achieve them successfully. As a teacher, one of my life's missions is to make students feel loved and safe inside the classroom, because I firmly believe that there is power in that to help them love school and everything about it.
