What is your favourite thing to do on weekends?

Watch my children play sport and go to the G to cheer for the Mighty Magpies.

If you could go on a holiday anywhere in the World, where would you go? 

Spain – I have a Spanish background, and I love the food, music, culture and people of Spain.

What is something that your students might be surprised to learn about you?

That I can speak Spanish fluently and danced Flamenco around Melbourne in my 20’s.

What recently made you smile?

My students make me smile every day.

What would you like to say to the students at BNPS?

Keep trying, stay strong, and never stop learning. You can do hard things!
