I am a highly motivated and creative 21-year-old studying BA (Hons) Primary Education Studies at Cardiff Metropolitan University. I am passionate about supporting children's learning and development and aspiring to become a supportive and compassionate primary teacher, with plans to complete a PGCE after graduation.

I approach challenges with positivity, adaptability, and professionalism, and I am deeply committed to creating inclusive, nurturing environments where every child can flourish academically, socially, and emotionally.
