Favourite thing about working in Education:

The best part of my job is seeing my students progress and grow in self-confidence. It is wonderful to see them achieve their personal and professional goals and to share in their journey. I strive to create a warm, supportive learning environment and I love seeing how this encourages students to step out of their comfort zones and reach their potential.
