I was born and bred in South Africa. However, I spent the last 15 years leading a pretty nomadic life in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, England, Swaziland, Thailand and the USA. I taught my first ESL class at Qedusizi Primary School in Swaziland in 1992. Since then, I've pursued other professional interests yet I have continued to teach ESL whenever I could. Places where I taught ESL include a prison in Durban, South Africa (1994) and Nongkhai Technical College in Thailand (2005-6). I've now been teaching at the ELC since early 2007.

People who know me will tell you I love teaching and interacting with people from all over the world. The ELC is a perfect match for me in this regard. The diverse and vibrant student body as well as the highly professional faculty and staff have brought me great joy and intellectual challenge. I look foward to continuing to work with everyone and to meeting future students!
