Personal

After completing BTeach(Hons) in 2006, I taught at several primary schools in the Greater Hobart area before returning to full time study in 2008 as a doctoral candidate. I came to teaching from science and philosophy, looking for a way to combine philosophy with ... something... and teaching presented me that opportunity. Taking philosophy into the classroom, as a tool to provide students with the experiences necessary to make thinking central in their everyday lives, proved a successful and fulfilling pedagogical practice for me.
