Prior to commencing my career in Education, I worked in several industries including Banking, and 2 years as an Engineering Laboratory Technician. After working in these areas, I was drawn to a career in Education; specifically Science Education.

• As a Teacher, I have fulfilled roles as a Classroom Teacher, a Middle Manager - Head of Faculty (Science) and a Senior Manager - Dean of an area of responsibility. I have also held positions within Australia and the United Kingdom and within both Government and Independent Education Sectors.

For more than 10 years, I have had a particular passion for how technology can be used to enhance learning experiences for students. However, for some time now, I have acknowledge that if my students are to be well prepared for life beyond school, then I must embrace technology to provide them with the best learning opportunities possible - this is not possible without technology.
