I’m now in my fourth year of full-time casual teaching across primary schools, bringing my passion and creativity to a variety of classrooms.

Additional biographical information

When I’m not teaching or creating resources, you’ll find me spending time with my two adorable toy poodles, Bonnie and Milo. We love going on long walks and exploring the outdoors together! I’m also a night owl who enjoys diving into graphic design projects, editing photos, and working on videography pieces. I’m always upskilling myself and finding new ways to get creative in my downtime. In the kitchen, I’m an avid baker—especially when it comes to cakes and sweets (who doesn’t love a treat?). Lately, I’ve been challenging myself to perfect my sourdough bread skills—fingers crossed I get it just right soon! Balancing my creative passions with teaching keeps me busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m always on the lookout for ways to learn, grow, and make life a little more fun!
