Personal Profile

Children have been an intrinsic part of my life for the past 35 years. Throughout this time my understanding of their similarities and differences has grown. I have a well developed sense of humour, an asset when dealing with children! It gives me great satisfaction when I succeed in 'getting through' to a child. I am loyal and trustworthy. I bring my sense of perfection into my classroom and work industriously in order for the pupils to thrive.
