It has been a great experience working in the public education system of my country. I have had the privilege of contributing to the development and growth of students, while learning a lot from them as well. Working in education has allowed me to witness the impact of quality learning on young minds and the importance of providing equal opportunities to all. It has been truly rewarding to be a part of shaping the future through education.

My experience as a classroom assistant was a wonderful opportunity to connect with the children and also learn from my colleagues. We formed a great team, planning a lot of activities together, and it was a beautiful experience. Collaborating with such dedicated professionals allowed me to grow both personally and professionally while making a positive impact on the childrens and theirs family.

During the years I worked at the school, I had the opportunity to cover for absences across all levels of kindergarten. It was a valuable experience that allowed me to work with children at different development, and it helped me grow as an educator and allowed benefit from many colleagues.

At this school, I also covered classes across all levels. It was an incredibly enriching experience for my professional growth. During my time there, I realized that I wanted to study for being a kindergarten teacher.

During the pandemic, whit two colleagues and I created play spaces that adhered to the health protocols of the time. Our goal was to provide a safe environment for the children, making the challenging period of the pandemic a little more bearable. It was a rewarding experience to contribute in such a meaningful way, ensuring that the children could still enjoy moments of joy and learning while staying safe.
