My name is Riley and I’ve been studying a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Secondary Education through the Australian Catholic University. I am a third-year student that has been placed on two different practicums; one being at a special needs school and the other being a public co-ed high school. I have worked in retail for the last 4 years which has helped me as a teacher understand the ways to deal with range of diverse people. Alongside these settings, I have been a coach for netball for the last five years and mentor for children learning how to umpire as I am a National C badged umpire. This has helped understand the way that teenagers act and behave in different types of environments.
