I grew up in Rockhampton, Queensland until I was 16. Then I moved to Sydney and completed my Higher School Certificate. I then moved to Wollongong where I studied a Bachelor of Creative Arts - Performance (Music and Drama). This was a fantastic part of my life where I could sing, act and use my voice all day everyday. I even lived with two girls who did my course so it was quite a loud house. I then moved back to Rockhampton and worked for just over 3 years as a photographer and retail manager. From here, I decided to put many of my skills at use and my love for young people together and decided to become an English and Drama teacher. So here I am studying the Graduate Diploma of Learning and Teaching at Central Queensland University.
