"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them" - Walt Disney
Hi and welcome to my personal website.
Throughout the site you will find out about my educational experiences and passions as a teacher as well as thoughts and reflections of the many influences I have had, that have led me to be the teacher I am today.
A little bit about me...
Born and bred in Queensland, Australia, I am very proud of where I am from and the upbringing I have had. I am blessed with two wonderful parents who always taught me the value of family. My greatest memories are when I was with my parents and my sister. The connection my sister and I have is strong and continues today, personally and professionally. Her career led her to be a early childhood teacher and, as I am trained in secondary education, we see the many similarities and many differences teaching can bring in different year levels.
My teacher training shows I have a degree in secondary education with a focus on Drama and English teaching. However, I have had the opportunity to teach many subjects, including Maths, SoSE, Physical Education, Personal Development, Film and Television and Music. I have also had the opportunity to coach a variety of sporting teams, and be involved in many cultural events, including musical, plays and performances.
I have taught in a variety of schools, both co-educational and single sexed education. Through this experience I have also found my passion for Middle School Education and innovation in teaching and learning. I hope to be able to share these passions with those around me, to give all students I encounter the best chance for success in their future.
My family takes the driver's seat in my life. I have an amazing husband to share my life's journey with. We share many experiences together as he is also a passionate teacher. We also have three children. They bring joy and enlightenment to each day and give great purpose to life.
I hope you enjoy reading my reflections of experiences and influences I have both professionally and personally.
