Hello!

I have been in the employment industry for many years, and done many different kinds of interesting work. Teaching in Central Africa, working in the theatre, working for a model agency, and then moving away into the chemical industry, and finally a chemical production manager. When I retired, I went into teaching online on a permanent basis, and been here ever since. It has been a very interesting journey.

I have a passion for the arts and literature. I love reading and learning about new cultures, traditions and ventures, and enjoy the interaction with the students, plus listening to their point of view. I retired as a production manager in a chemical company, and have been teaching online since then. What an awesome journey this has been. A huge learning experience. Wonderful. In my free time, I am involved with a dance and drama studio, and we are on a journey of learning how to portray different characters from all walks of life.
