I believe my background has given me a rich tapestry of knowledge to draw from and use within my professional practice. I feel these skillsets that I have acquired over my life can and will assist me in being the best teacher, facilitator, researcher and artist that I can be. Each skill is unique, takes time and patience to cultivate. They demonstrate a love for life long learning, for continuous research and exploration in the world around us which is a part of my educational philosophy; to instil a love for life long learning in each and every student.
