I am a math and health education teacher.  I am teaching since 1980 with time out for three babies. I am living in Cyprus since 1982. For many years I ran Duke of Edinburgh at the school. Second subject was dance which I have danced myself into a no dancing no cartilage situation!

I love to travel, read, meet new people – I am that person that will make friends at the bus stop! – knit, crochet and write and shop of course! I have also taken part in many pantos, opening one as I crawled out of a cave whooping as a witch, the perfect part for me!

I am passionate about education and youth. I have been working in educational organisations for around 8 years (University, NGO, VET school) and I am a supporter of multiculturalism, international experience, personal development, healthy living, environmental awareness and mentorship. I have experience in managing and implementing international projects, trainings and other events. I could say that I have quite some experience in marketing (e.g. social media, website). I love working with youth and support them in their exploration of world and life.

And well… I love photography, discovering planet earth and dancing; and you could find me playing some volleyball and table tennis.
