Being able to work with Year 0-1 children really helped me to understand how it all starts. They are a neat age to work with.

I was lucky enough to have a camp on my first section. The class went to Arthur's Pass. I love the outdoors and getting to do bush walks. Taking the students on river crossings was a real thrill. As they built up confidence they wanted to do more crossings.

My Big Career Change

After coming back from traveling around the world. I decided that it was time for a change of tack in my career. I moved away from Tourism and Automotive and decided to put my skills in training and communication to the test. BECOME A TEACHER.

Now I am at the Graduate School of Education in Christchurch. I've learnt HEAPS.

So Many Things To See So Little Time




Traveling teaches you about yourself. Both what you like and dislike. As well as how to handle situations.

Traveling and I Go Hand in Hand




I have traveled around Europe and parts of Asia. I think its so important to see other parts of the world and be able to appreciate other cultures and how people live.
