Favourite Food: It’s a bit hard to name just one! I love all things chocolate, but other faves include tacos, crispy skin salmon and wood-fired pizza. Yummmmm!!

Favourite Book or Movie: Again, it’s hard to name just one!  Some favourites would have to be Jackdaws, Exodus, Where the Crawdads Sing. I still love Charlotte’s Web and many picture story books too – anything Pig the Pug is always fun! My all-time favourite movie is Nottinghill, but more recently I really enjoyed The Gentlemen and the latest Ghostbusters movie.

Favourite Colour: Blue

Favourite place to visit: Anywhere with mountains; the ‘School With A View’ suits me perfectly! I love so many different places both within Australia and further afield – stand outs are probably Port Douglas, Sunshine Coast hinterland, Wilsons Prom, Nepal, Great Wall of China. But I always love returning home too!

Anything else you would like to share: I am excited to have the opportunity to join your wonderful school community and am so looking forward to becoming a part of it. I value my role as an educator and will provide a classroom that is inclusive, supportive, engaging and nurturing. Please feel welcome to say hello!
