I began my career working in the agriculture industry. However, I became particularly interested in teaching after living in Germany and taking German language lessons. I became intrigued by different teaching methods, and which class activities helped me to learn the best. Having children further enhanced my curiosity for understanding how people learn.

I have completed an Associate MSL training course and have a particular interest in helping children with literacy difficulties.

I am very excited about the teaching approach used at GEA and am always thrilled to see children grow in knowledge and self-confidence.
