Currently, I serve as the Specials Team Lead, ensuring clear communication and coordination among team members. 🤝 Mentorship & Collaboration: In the role of Mentor Teacher, I've supported and guided PE mentees, fostering a friendly yet professional environment. Conducting observations, providing constructive feedback, and motivating mentees to excel are key aspects of my mentorship approach.
