Professional Interests and Expertise: I have worked in Catholic Education for the past 8 years in the North Western suburbs of Melbourne. During this time I have worked as both a classroom teacher and a specialist teacher, in the areas of Physical Education and Science. I have a passion for Science and Literacy, and a drive to motivate and encourage students to explore questions and seek understanding about the world around them, through learning that is both authentic and meaningful. I am interested in developing students’ conceptual knowledge so as to enable them to draw on, and use what they already know to grasp new topics and concepts.
