Originally from Canberra, Australia, I have been fortunate to work in China, Japan, UK, Tanzania, Vietnam and Australia.. I have worked in the Elementary, Middle and High School as a Physical Education and Health teacher in the International Baccalaureate (IB) and using Ontario Standards.

Currently, I am living and working in Beijing, China at the International School of Beijing.

I am a triathlete and runner and love training and racing and am looking forward to new events and distances in China and beyond. I actively train both in and outdoors and coach students too.

I am a believer in Blue Dragon Children's Fund (www.bdcf.org) who do amazing things in Hanoi and Vietnam working to support the ongoing work in advocating for children's rights.

I am always interested to talk to others about PE and Health and the role that our subject takes in educating students, parents and our communities to be active, thriving members of our World.
