I’m addicted to mountains; as if I need my daily dose of fresh mountain air, to invigorate my senses. I love the stunning views you get from sitting on top of a mountain peak. I love the harsh, unpredictable mountain weather and I am amazed by twisted, gnarled snowgums and how they survive. I am also addicted to coffee, which lends well to being a teacher.

I have found my place at the Alpine School, working in the mountains, with talented, motivated young people who continually surprise and inspire us all. The best part is the community spirit, the camaraderie, the life-long friendships, the jokes, the good times, the sad times, and the fun of doing everything together. The learning that takes place here is truly transformational.

Outside of work, I am busy having fun and playing outside with my young family. You would usually find us on a trail somewhere riding our mountain bikes, climbing a rock face, paddling down a river, skiing in the hills or just sitting back sipping a latte at the café set in our home town of Bright.
