Education
I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education. I graduated from Griffith University in Queensland, Australia in 1992. I love learning and am always excited to challenge myself to learn and grow as a teacher. Most recently, I have been studying early childhood education courses online.
Experience
I have worked at Kids Junction since 2008. During this time, I have been teaching four year old kindergarten. I taught elementary education in Australia for over ten years. I have always enjoyed teaching and have taught people of all ages. I decided to be a teacher when I was only eight years old. I love working with young children and instilling in them a life-long passion for learning.
Personal
I was born and raised in Australia. I moved to the United States to marry my amazing husband in 2002. I enjoy cooking, reading, crocheting, and outdoor photography. I love arts and crafts and have been known to spend way too much time on Pinterest. I am the proud mother of a sassy fur child, an Australian Terrier called Cobber.
