Hi, I'm Jennifer! I am currently a La Trobe student studying a Bachelor of Teaching. My interests include shopping, fitness and I am a big foodie, I love trying new cafes and restaurants with family and friends.

I am bilingual speaking both English and Arabic, which has helped me appreciate different cultures and connect with a wide range of people. I love meeting new people and learning about different backgrounds and experiences.

Outside of university, you’ll usually find me at the gym, shopping, or trying new cafes and foods with friends and family. I enjoy staying active and spending time at the gym, as it helps me maintain a positive mindset and healthy balance in my life. As well as spending time with people I care about, and always finding new things to explore. I would describe myself as friendly, caring, and outgoing, and I love bringing positive energy into everything I do.

Growing up, I always appreciated teachers who created a warm, supportive and welcoming classroom, and those experiences enlightened me to become a teacher myself. I aim for my classroom to be a fun, welcoming, and positive environment where students feel confident to learn, ask questions, and be themselves.

I was motivated to come into the field of education because I have always enjoyed helping others and making positive connections with people. I believe teachers play an important role in shaping students’ confidence, growth, and overall learning experiences and I would love to take part in that. The idea of being able to support young learners, encourage them, and help them reach their full potential is what inspired me to pursue a career in teaching.

My experiences throughout school strongly influenced my decision to pursue a career in education. I was inspired by teachers who created positive and welcoming classrooms where students felt supported, included, and motivated to learn. Their encouragement and passion for teaching showed me how much of an impact educators can have on a student’s confidence and overall learning experience. I have always enjoyed helping others, building meaningful connections, and supporting people around me, which naturally led me towards a career where I can make a positive difference in students’ lives.

After graduating, I hope to become a primary school teacher who creates a positive and enjoyable learning environment for students. I want to build strong relationships with my students and help them feel confident and supported. I also hope to continue growing as a teacher by learning new skills and finding different ways to support all learners in the classroom. Most importantly, I want to make a positive impact on my students and help them believe in themselves and their abilities.
