I collect D&D miniatures.
For 4 years.
A snowboard or a ski—something that slides around.
Too many choices! I love my food, but probably hamburgers. You can’t go wrong.
Alaska, because I love the snow and the outdoors. Alaska represents a place with a lot of snow and true wilderness. Or southern Tasmania for similar reasons
I’d love to be able to fly, and telepathy would be pretty cool too.
My senior year form teacher, who was the head of mathematics at my school, was a brilliant mathematician. He was also a very fun person to be around. We did a lot of work, but had a lot of fun too, so he had big influence on me wanting to become a teacher.
I listen to the Critical Role podcast on the way to and from work, which is a D&D podcast. I am currently reading the Mistborn series, and Good Omens is one of my favourite TV series that I go back to regularly.
I love all animals, so it's very difficult to choose. But broadly, probably otters.
Let’s go basic and back on brand. I've always loved Disney movies because of the songs and the music. I went down a road and discovered I love musicals, so The Lion King is probably my favourite.
I love watching a lot of sports, but I also love playing pretty much anything. My favourites are playing basketball, field hockey and AFL. I love to watch ice hockey, AFL and basketball.
I love seeing the moment when someone goes from not understanding a concept to grasping it, then to mastering it. In other words, watching a student go from a complete beginner to the various levels of expertise. The other side is just the day-to-day interaction with young people, helping and guiding them through those developmental years.
Well, it’s hard to get the mic off me—it’s more what wouldn’t I sing. A Whole New World from Aladdin, and I’d probably sing both parts, so no duets.
I go camping every year with my family and my parents' friends from high school. There’s a group of about 10 families who go to Tocumwal on the banks of the Murray. I took my baby daughter for the first time this Easter, and it was lovely.
When I was really little, I wanted to be a fireman.
