My Inspiration:

When I was a child, I was inspired by my mother and my grandmother who were also teachers. It cheers me up and makes me proud when I see the children I work with grow and develop both physically and mentally every day.

It makes me see how wonderful life is when I work with children. Especially, when I play or dance with them and I can see their smiles – my heart is filled with joy!

What is one of my hidden talents?

I was an athletics and physical education teacher for 12 years before I made a big career change to become an Early Childhood Educator. Currently, I am also teaching martial arts in “Rami’s Thunder Martial Arts” every weekend.

Who is your favourite cartoon character and why?

I love Mickey Mouse! Seeing his smiley face makes me happy.

Statement of Philosophy

My purpose in life is to support children to build their cognitive, physical and social skills through play-based learning. Moreover, I would like to provide a caring, nurturing and safe environment where children come first.
