Travelling has always been a passion of mine. Being from New Zealand but having a mother from the U.S.A. gave me an international perspective from a young age which has coloured my interests and actions throughout my life. I have lived in New Zealand, the U.S.A., Bolivia, Canada, France, and have travelled to many other countries besides. I have always been interested in language, which has lead me to learn passable Spanish and basic French.
While living in many places I have also had many different jobs. I have worked as a ranch hand or ‘cowboy’ in the U.S.A., a stained glass fabricator, internet tutor and troubleshooter, barman, waiter, cook, landscaper, live model, and now teacher.
In the educational arena I completed a double major Political Studies and Philosophy, Bachelor of Arts from Auckland University in New Zealand. I have also passed the CELTA English language teaching certificate.
My wide travels and work experience give me great insight and real world knowledge that I can bring to my students. Having learned other languages I can also understand classes from a student’s point of view.
I look forward to teaching in China a finding out everything I can about the people and culture.
