Head of Brand and Product Marketing

Education Perfect

I was born and raised in the West of Ireland in the beautiful town of Galway. I have spent most of my adult life away from Ireland discovering a wide range of fascinating countries and cultures and now reside in stunning New Zealand. English literature was certainly the early catalyst for me in becoming a teacher. Having enjoyed the classroom and community version of teaching for over ten years, I was intrigued by the prospect of experiencing the virtual version of it. Joining the EP team allowed me to nurture my own young family while continuing to inquire, investigate, support and interact with schools, teachers and students via the subject I love.
