I am extremely proud of my 2 beautiful daughters who have both graduated the IBDP. I am proud that I have helped to educate hundreds of students, and I am proud that I can share my 18 years of PYP experience with other educators.

After work I like to spend time with my family, work in the garden (in the warmer months) and visit galleries and theatre productions as well as other cultural events.

To get up in the morning and go to school I tell myself... I can make a difference. Who's life will I have an impact on today?

When I was a child, I wanted to become a teacher - I never seriously considered anything else!

I am learning from kids how to go with the flow.

The school of the future is a community of shared learning.

Before EIS I was working at:

Diploma of Teaching, Australian Catholic University;
Graduate Dip in Expressive and Performing Arts, University of New South Wales, Australia.

11 years at ISL;
5 years at ISR;
5 years at 3 different schools in Sydney Australia.
