I am familiar with Moama Anglican Grammar after completing a teaching exchange here in 2014. Moving permanently to Australia I am excited to have the opportunity to return to Moama Anglican Grammar as my teaching philosophy fits very well with this school.

This Schools' core values are values that I personally uphold and I wanted the same for my children, especially in their everyday school life. I enjoy reading a good crime novel, coaching and exploring the Echuca-Moama area with my family.

Living in Queensland for 13 years and ready for change, I was thrilled with this opportunity at Moama. I am familiar with Echuca-Moama as my parents and uncle live here. This change has been very positive for my family.
Working at Moama Anglican Grammar is fantastic. I really enjoy teaching the students here; they are really lovely. Their attitudes and friendliness inspire me every day. I am also so happy to send my own children here, not just because of the quality of the education that they will receive, but also because of the school’s holistic approach to nurturing them as individuals.

I have a passion for waterskiing, snowboarding, running, and swimming, and my interest and enthusiasm in each of these is definitely weather dependant. I have lived in Echuca for around 11 years now on and off, and I was drawn to working at Moama Anglican Grammar because of the new and modern facilities, and quality of education offered at the school.

One of my favourite things to do is dance, I can't wait to meet you all and show you my skills!
