I’m a qualified teacher specialising in Engineering and Product Design, with over 8 years of classroom experience delivering engaging, hands-on lessons that blend creativity with real-world problem-solving. My teaching approach is grounded in industry relevance, ensuring students not only meet curriculum outcomes but also develop skills aligned with modern design and manufacturing practices. Before entering education, I worked as a product designer and mechanical engineer, designing and developing components and systems using a range of materials—particularly metals. This professional background gives me a deep understanding of design principles, CAD/CAM processes, and manufacturing methods, which I bring directly into the classroom. I’ve led projects involving everything from conceptual sketching and modelling to prototyping and fabrication, giving students an authentic view of what careers in engineering and design look like.
