Summary
I am a motivated and adaptable professional with experience in teaching, supply work, and customer-facing roles. I enjoy working collaboratively, building strong relationships, and managing responsibilities independently in busy environments. I am a primary school teacher with two years' experience and am now seeking a new role to develop a long-term career beyond the classroom. I bring strong communication skills, adaptability, and a global perspective gained through travel, and I am committed to ongoing personal development, growth, and progression.
