Interests: I have quite a wide range of interests. I enjoy travelling, meeting new people, experiencing different cultures and ways of living. I enjoy films and photography. I am interested in the outdoors and exploration. My academic interests are rather Arendtian, in that I like to develop theory and practice for helping to make this world a better place, more specifically, I'm interested in holistic ecology and decolonising and deanthropocentrising ways of being in and with the world.
“I see teaching as a way of developing dialogue, and I see being a teacher as being someone who enables students to unlock and achieve their potential. I love the social and dynamic aspect of teaching and thoroughly enjoy assisting students in their own-going development. I prefer fostering a student-centred approach, whereby the sessions are more meaningful and more constructive. Being a teacher is an important role and it is something I feel much pride in.”
