Current school-based experience
Final professional placement at Wallan Secondary College.
During my final placement I am planning and teaching Mathematics, including a Year 8 Statistics sequence. My work includes learning intentions and success criteria, explicit instruction, worked examples, gradual release of responsibility, differentiated activities, formative assessment, feedback and reflection.
Mathematics & Science
Strong disciplinary grounding in Mathematics and Physics, with a focus on clear explanations, mathematical reasoning, scientific thinking and real-world applications.
Evidence-informed teaching
Lesson planning, questioning, checks for understanding, assessment and mentor feedback guide the continuous refinement of my practice.
Safe, inclusive classrooms
High expectations, respectful relationships, differentiation, confidentiality and child safety support students from diverse backgrounds.

Professional CV summary
Experience I bring to the teaching profession.
Forensic & Medical Administration
Experience in forensic records administration and medical transcription, with strengths in accuracy, confidentiality, complex documentation, time management, organisation and professional communication.
Operations & Service
Previous responsibilities in reception, scheduling, customer service, retail operations and team support. These experiences have strengthened my teamwork, responsiveness and calm approach to problem-solving.
Digital capability & innovation
Website development, app creation and artificial intelligence.
I have created websites and mobile apps, and I have practical experience using AI-assisted tools and workflows. These capabilities complement my teaching areas and support my interest in digital literacy, problem-solving, computational thinking and creative learning resources.
Websites
Experience planning, designing and improving web-based experiences, with attention to usability and clear digital communication.
Mobile Applications
Hands-on experience creating and refining apps, developing workflows, responding to user needs and improving solutions through testing.
Responsible AI
Practical AI experience, with a focus on accuracy, critical evaluation, student privacy and thoughtful integration into learning rather than uncritical automation.
My goal: to use subject knowledge and digital capabilities to help students explore authentic Mathematics and Science problems while developing responsible technology skills.
Teaching philosophy & portfolio evidence
Explicit, inclusive and reflective teaching.
I believe students learn best through clear modelling, meaningful relationships, scaffolded practice and feedback that helps them progress. I use the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers to reflect on the quality and impact of my practice.
My approach
Gradual Release of Responsibility — I do, We do, You do — together with careful assessment, reasonable adjustments, student agency, family engagement and collaborative professional learning.
