About Me

CURRENT MISSION

see new places, learn new things, meet new people.

ABOUT ME

I've left Scotland to try and have a bit of an adventure. Was feeling stuck and bored back home so I came out to Australia without any plans or timescale. I'm itching to experience the new and push myself out of my comfort zone. No real idea if I'll go back home permanently.

I've now done my two years in Oz, in New Zealand looking to work and explore before I got back to Oz around June time to start a 2 year study course on Early Childhood Education.

I have been a self-employed painter and props maker for theatre and film. Working freelance was slowly sucking the life out of me, and it was partly the reason why I upped and came over to Oz. One day eventually I want to combine my arts experience with teaching and supporting of kids who perhaps have disabilities or learning difficulties. I have some experience in this already and want to take this further.
