I challenge and support myself and others to critically reflect, to continually learn and grow and become the best version of themselves.
I do this by:
- designing a creative curriculum that connects theory to practice
- listening to my students and colleagues and respecting their experiences and choices
- continually self-reflecting so that I am self-aware and self-critical
- being organised and prepared so I can be flexible in the moment
- learning with my students and colleagues
- going the extra mile for my students, my colleagues and my employer
- undertaking research that expands my own and others' knowledge
