Summary

I'm a creative educator who can handle a busy classroom just as smoothly as organising a youth band rehearsal - or even running a warehouse. Whether I’m crafting dynamic lesson plans, differentiating instructions on the fly, or leading jam sessions at church, I’m all about helping students grow, learn, and enjoy their education. A school that champions creativity, fosters lively cultures, and delivers impactful results is music to my ears. Let’s make learning an adventure!
