What led you to teaching?
I was fortunate enough to have some amazingly supportive teachers and coaches who encouraged me, believed in me and inspired me to be the best I could be. I wanted to be able to give that same encouragement and support to children and help them discover what they are capable of.
What inspires you and what you do?
The children inspire me everyday. I love their curiosity and the questions they ask that I could never think of myself. It’s wonderful to see the world through their eyes and to help them explore their ideas.
What do you love most about Skippers?
The people and the sense of community. Everyone genuinely cares about the children and I love being part of a school where there is such a strong focus on helping children feel happy, valued and confident.
What do you enjoy doing outside of school?
Hockey has always been a huge passion of mine. I play in the National Premier League, so I spend a lot of my spare time training and playing matches. I also love spending time with friends and family, and making the most of our time together.
