About
I grew up in Northland, but Hamilton is home now. I studied and worked at the University of Waikato for many years, and I spent three years working in Japan. Most of my studies have been in languages (Spanish and Japanese) and linguistics. I have been teaching English as a Second Language since 2001, and here at Wintec since 2015.
