Education

I have a gifted intellect, but am undegreed. I've completed various courses & tutorials in a broad range of relevant subjects.

About Me

Single parent, lifelong learner, philosopher. I'm always looking for solutions and improvements, with a passion for learning, collaborating and creating. Gifted in language, critical thinking, and teaching.
Hobbies & passions include fitness, snowboarding, playing piano, mushroom foraging, and gaming.
Fun fact: I'm an expert snowboard instructor, and instructor course conductor. This has given me invaluable experience and insight into teaching and pedagogy.
Fun fact #2: My daughter was conceived in Ghana, West Africa, where I worked as Operations Manager & Systems Designer for Ghana's first commercial aquaponics farm.
