I thoroughly enjoyed my experience studying for a Diploma of Education at UWA and appreciate the opportunities it gave me to develop as a teacher and an individual. Since graduation, teaching has created a fantastic career path for me and I have been able to indulge my love of travel through teaching overseas in locations including the Middle East and the UK. Having had the opportunity to experience new cultures and teaching environments, I am now happily teaching in Perth as a merit-selected teacher at Perth Modern School. I will soon be leading a group of students on an expedition to Nepal – another wonderful experience, both career-wise and personally.
