about me.
my name is cait! i'm a perth-based, contemporary singer-songwriter on a thrilling journey through music and education. currently, i'm diving into the dynamic world of live music while pursuing my masters in secondary education. it's an exhilarating ride that perfectly complements my passion for crafting melodies and telling stories through song.
when I'm not buried in textbooks or fine-tuning my latest composition, you'll likely find me basking in the sun at perth's stunning beaches or testing the latest culinary creations at local eateries. whether it's indulging in gourmet delights or seeking out hidden gems in the food scene.
i'm an avid explorer of music in all its forms and intricacies. from the raw emotion of classical to the pulsating beats of reggae music, i'm constantly seeking out new sounds to broaden my sonic horizons.
in both my musical pursuits and my venture into education, i'm fuelled by a desire to inspire and empower others. join me as i blend my love for music with the art of teaching, embarking on a journey filled with excitement, growth, and endless possibilities.

philosophy.
in my teaching journey, i'm guided by a deep-rooted belief in the immense value of each student and their unique journey. central to my approach is creating a nurturing environment where every individual feels seen, heard, and respected. through open communication and genuine empathy, i strive to build strong connections with my students, fostering a sense of trust and belonging.
i cherish the diversity of perspectives and experiences that each student brings to the table, understanding that it enriches our learning community in profound ways. by actively listening and encouraging dialogue, i create a safe space where students feel empowered to express themselves authentically and explore their interests freely.
i'm passionate about engaging students through interactive and experiential learning, igniting their curiosity and inspiring a love for exploration. i encourage them to take ownership of their learning journey, fostering a growth mindset that celebrates both successes and failures as essential steps towards growth.
as a lifelong learner myself, i'm committed to continual growth and reflection, constantly seeking new ways to evolve and innovate in my teaching practice. together, let's embark on a journey of discovery and growth, where every moment is an opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
