About Me


Hi! I'm an enthusiastic instructional designer and eLearning developer, originally from the UK but now based in Australia. I've been working in adult education for over 10 years, teaching ESL all over the world. After completing a Bachelor of Arts in Modern Languages from the University of Edinburgh, I combined my love of travel with my passion for education and language and began my career in teaching. After 10 years in the field, I discovered instructional design and instantly knew it was my calling. I’ve always been interested in graphic design, and I love being creative while helping people learn and grow, using technology as a force for good. I'm incredibly excited about developing my skills in ID and using my knowledge of adult learning principles to make interesting and effective training experiences.

I'm currently based near Byron Bay, but I am focused on working remotely. I love pushing myself to learn new things and broaden my knowledge of the world, whether through travel, listening to podcasts or taking online courses. I’m definitely a people person and thrive on making connections and immersing myself in new experiences. In my spare time I enjoy surfing (and all things ocean related!), collaging, reading, travelling, listening to podcasts, and spending time in nature.
