When did you join Casey Grammar?

I joined Casey Grammar way back in 2010 after starting my teaching at the neighbouring St Peters College.

What do you love most about your job and why?

I teach the subject that allows students to be creative, learn life skills and have confidence in abilities they didn’t know they had.

Three words which best describe you are …

Firm , Fair and Bad Dad Jokes.

What’s a fun fact about you many people may not know?

I have five pet chickens that live in my backyard and eat all my food scraps while supplying me with a steady stream of free eggs. They all have names and ankle tags to tell the difference: Teriyaki, Free Range, Butter, Popcorn and Red Tractor.

Working closely with each and every student to assist them in making ideas and plans a reality and to do it will a smile on my face.
