A highly skilled and dedicated Primary School Teacher with over 15 years of experience in mainstream and special education settings. Specializing in Art, I have a strong background in teaching students from Year 1 to Year 8 and have spent the last 8 years working with students with behavioural difficulties, including ADHD, autism, and attachment disorders in a Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) in the UK. A strong advocate of ICT integration in the classroom, I utilize technology to enhance learning experiences.
