I will guide my students through their discovery of the world around them. I will assist and support my students through their efforts to understand how the world works. I will promote the expression of values which support acts of conservation, and of environmental protection.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Zoology and I have a Diploma in Environment Science. I have also completed my Bachelor of Education in Teaching: Biology and Geography.
