Summary

With a diverse and rewarding career in education, I have had the privilege of working in various roles—from Teacher and Teaching Assistant to School Finance Administrator. Each experience has shaped my understanding of the education system and my dedication to supporting both the academic and operational needs of schools. My journey began in the classroom, where I developed a passion for nurturing student growth and creating engaging learning environments. As a Teacher, I facilitated student-centered lessons, tailored instruction to meet individual learning needs, and worked closely with parents to support student achievement. The role of Teaching Assistant further refined my ability to assist in curriculum delivery, support diverse learning needs, and provide personalized attention to students. In early childhood settings as a Nursery Practitioner, I provided nurturing care and early education to young children, building strong relationships with families and fostering safe and stimulating learning experiences. This role sharpened my understanding of child development and reinforced my commitment to safeguarding and holistic care. While my teaching career allowed me to build strong relationships with students and colleagues, I recognized the critical importance of the administrative and financial operations that support a successful learning environment. As a result, I transitioned into the role of School Finance Administrator, where I found that my attention to detail, organizational skills, and problem-solving abilities could be applied to the financial and operational side of the school management. As a School Finance Administrator, I have developed deep expertise in budgeting, payroll, procurement, and compliance, ensuring that school resources are managed effectively and responsibly. I take pride in delivering accurate financial reports, supporting funding applications. I am now seeking to leverage my teaching background, administrative experience, and finance skills to contribute to an educational institution where I can continue supporting both academic and operational excellence. With a keen eye for detail, a deep understanding of educational needs, and a commitment to financial integrity, I am confident in my ability to help schools achieve their goals and continue to serve students effectively.
