My
Journey
This is my Passion!
I am a parent, a stepparent, and a Mimi to 6 grandchildren.
​
I’m a 25+ year veteran teacher in the public education system, mostly secondary, with some primary experience thrown in.
​
I am an American-Australian dual citizen looking to pursue my passion of teaching in a new way.
​
Unique living opportunities has defined my jouney in life. My family originated from the southern part of the USA and moved to Hawaii when I was six. I compled my last year of high school in Seoul, Korea, lived in San Francisco, CA, and then the mid-western state of Michigan. I eventually returned home to Hawaii for more than a dozen years before migrating to Australia for a dozen more.
​
Moving to Hawaii was a huge cultural shift. I distinctly remember my first day of elementary school and learning the colloquial word ‘pau’, Hawaiian for 'all finished'. My favourite subject became Hawaiian History, which I later had the privilege of teaching, along with Hawaiian Cultural Studies. I ended secondary schooling with the extraordinary experience of living in Seoul, Korea - an adventure I treasure today.
​
After high school I attended the University of Hawaii, but lacking direction and support, my focus shifted and I soon became a military wife, and the mother of two whilst residing in San Francisco – a great place to live! My children fostered a new focus that piqued a passion for education, and after moving to Michigan, I returned to school to complete my degree. Not long after, an opportunity to return home to Hawaii allowed me to fully pursue my career dreams; I fell in love with teaching. My academic study feeling incomplete, I went back to the University of Hawaii and earned a Masters degree in Curriculum Development. Unbeknownst to me though, the circle was not yet complete.
​
With the development of a long-distance relationship, and children launched and off living their own lives, I made the decision to migrate to Australia. Twelve years later and here’s where I am today. I have learned so much about living and teaching in Oz. I am ready and excited to make a career shift and to use my knowledge and skills in a new way - by helping others migrating to Australia pursue their career dreams, thus completing the circle.
​
This is me – this in my new passion!
