A Little More About Me...
I love role-playing games, whether digital or person-to-person: as part of my current role, I run a Dungeons and Dragons campaign involvuing students in Year 10 & 11. It's fantastic to share a hobby with students, and to see their confidence and imaginations grow.
I'm refreshed by anything that reminds me of my extremities: ocean dips and winter walks are old favourites. I've missed Highgate's scrawling southerlies - Mauri ora!
