Summary

As a graduate with a BSc in Forensic Psychology from the University of Portsmouth, I am passionate about working with children and supporting their educational and personal development. My academic foundation, combined with extensive experience in childcare, teaching, and support roles, has prepared me to contribute effectively to primary education. I am eager to pursue a PGCE to further develop my skills, advocate for inclusive education, explore innovative teaching methods, and support children's development through psychology-informed practices.
