About

I have experience in a variety of fields such as education, child-care, administration, and the service industry, and I have developed a wide range of skills through working at a variety of Nursery Schools. As an Early Childhood Educator, I learned how to better listen to the needs of the children and identify different learning strategies. I have also worked as an After-School Team Lead and Cooking Class Instructor at the Canterbury Community Centre. In these positions, I gained experience teaching children new skills, and learned different communication strategies to best support their understanding.
