I am a high school teacher , teaching Psychology, Auslan & HASS. In my spare time I like to pursue my interests (see below). I am now settled back in Perth (where I grew up) after living in London for six years where I taught English and was introduced to Salsa and Zouk Lambada. I also lived for five years in a variety of prefectures in Japan, including Hokkaido, Hyogo-ken and Iwate-ken.
