Background

About Abbie Smith

I am a passionate and dedicated individual with a love for teaching, education, travelling, and learning. With a Bachelor Degree in Secondary Education and several years of experience as both a high school teacher and university educator, I have a deep understanding of how to connect with students and create a positive and engaging learning environment. My interest in travelling has allowed me to gain valuable insights into different cultures and teaching methods, which I incorporates into my own teaching approach. I am always seeking out new opportunities for professional development, and am committed to staying up-to-date with the latest trends, technology and best practices in education. Whether I am in the classroom or exploring a new destination, I always try to bring a positive and enthusiastic attitude to everything I do. I am dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of my students and am always looking for ways to give back and make a difference. This thirst to make a change has led me to undertake my PhD studies in Education at the University of Newcastle, in order to further our understanding of teachers self-efficacy and confidence regarding student mental health concerns.
