About the Students

If you could take the students on a field trip to anywhere in the world, where would you take them?

If there were no limits, I would go global and visit every continent of the world with my students!

We often joke in Geography class about doing an around-the-world field trip and I would love to make it happen.

About School Life

How do you show your school spirit?

Dressing up! I am a big believer in school spirit and there’s no better way to show your support than putting on a costume and getting in-theme.

Are there any embarrassing teaching moments you are will willing to share?

My most embarrassing teaching moment was ripping my pants when I was working as a teacher aide and having to wear a raincoat around my waist for the rest of the day!

What’s the best thing about being a teacher?

There is no other job in the world like teaching; everyday is unpredictable and exciting. They say life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get – and that’s exactly what it’s like being a teacher.

About Life Outside of School

What is one of your hidden talents?

I am currently learning how to play the drums (I wouldn’t classify it as a ‘talent’ yet, but hopefully one day soon!).

If you weren’t a teacher, what would you be?

I would love to work for the Bureau of Meteorology –there’s nothing more exciting to me than checking the radar daily (such a Geo teacher!).

What is your favourite book?

My favourite books from my childhood were anything by Morris Gleitzman, but these days I’m loving reading autobiographies.

What song do you love singing out loud

All of them – my poor neighbours.
