PE Primary Coordinator
Teacher of Sports & PE

On Your Marks. Get Set. MOVE!

Since joining the Avenor community in 2021, I have had the opportunity to grow both professionally and personally. In 2026, alongside my role as a Physical Education Teacher, I also took on the responsibility of PE Primary Coordinator. This role allows me to contribute to the development of meaningful, movement-based learning experiences that inspire children and foster a lifelong enjoyment of an active lifestyle.

I graduated from the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, specialising in Women’s Artistic Gymnastics. Competitive sport has shaped who I am, and pursuing a career in education was a natural step. I wanted to give children the opportunity to discover, through movement and play, confidence in their own abilities and the joy of being active.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with students of different ages and abilities. These experiences have taught me that every child learns at their own pace and possesses unique strengths and qualities that deserve to be recognised and nurtured.

I have worked with children with special educational needs as well as with highly talented students in schools, private sports clubs, and volunteer projects. Each of these experiences has reinforced my belief that every child can reach their full potential when they feel encouraged, valued, and supported.

For me, Physical Education is, above all, about the joy of movement. I believe that sport is a powerful tool through which children develop self-confidence, teamwork, perseverance, and the resilience to challenge themselves. Through games and physical activity, they learn to collaborate, communicate, and engage with one another, making learning an active, meaningful, and memorable experience.

My goal is for every child to leave each PE lesson feeling proud of what they have achieved, having learned a new skill, and recognising that being active can become a natural and enjoyable part of life beyond school. At Avenor, we are building a culture where sport is much more than a subject – it is a way of shaping character, promoting healthy habits, and laying the foundations for an active, balanced, and lifelong healthy lifestyle.
