Thanks to The Mathematical Association of Victoria for featuring me in their ‘one minute’ section in the latest issue of Common Denominator.
I’m… first and foremost, a maths and physics teacher. I work for myself as an education consultant with teachers, leaders, schools, systems and non-profits across Australia.
I studied Aerospace Engineering…. because I was good at maths and physics, loved cars and aircraft, and wanted to do something really academically challenging. I loved the depth of intellectual challenge both mathematically and scientifically – whilst also appreciating the practical and design elements.
Working in Germany… taught me the value of being a generalist who can work across domains and specialties. Many of my colleagues were highly specialised and they really valued the perspective that I shared, which came from a very broad knowledge base.
