I’m a final year B.Ed student specialising in English and history. I have a penchent for technology, especially anything Apple. I love music and incorporate it into my lessons whenever I can. I also believe in the benefit of physical activity and am an avid hockey player. This blog is a place for me to connect, dissect, reflect and project. Vanilla Ice, eat your heart out.
