Profile:

In my final year of pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Education at Atlantic Technological University in Galway, I've
developed a comprehensive skill set encompassing fine woodworking, lesson planning, CAD, and classroom management.
My hands-on experience in fine woodworking showcases my meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail, while
extensive school placement blocks have sharpened my innovation, communication, and virtual learning abilities.
Additionally, I've taken on high-responsibility roles such as presiding officer in elections and referendums, further honing
my leadership and organizational skills. Complementing this, my background in engineering factories and electrical
departments has solidified my teamwork and time management capabilities. I am now eagerly seeking opportunities to apply
these diverse skills as a qualified post-primary teacher, specializing in Construction Studies at the senior cycle level.
