Profile

During 2015 I have taken leave from teaching to learn how to code. In March I am starting the initial phase of Enspiral Dev Academy. Not sure where it is all going to lead but looking forward to the journey.


I am an experienced and highly proficient Physical Education and Digital Technologies Teacher. For the past six years I have been teaching at Wellington Girls' College.In 2015 I am taking refreshment leave.

I am available for day-to-day relief teaching or casual, non-teaching work.
