HELLO

My name is Emma. I'm an educator and teacher librarian.


I am currently the teacher librarian at Red Hill Primary School in Canberra, Australia and also manage the ICT for the school. I completed my Masters of Education (Teacher Librarianship) through Charles Sturt University.


My professional interests include children's and young adult literature, use of ICT for learning and music.


In my personal life, I enjoy training at the gym, swimming, gardening and listening to audiobooks. My new projects are to sew more of my own clothes and to improve my ukulele playing! I love my pets (cat, Claude, and Basset Fauves, Beau and Lottie) more than is reasonable, and my dream travel destination is Uzbekistan. 



This website is a digital portfolio, documenting my learning and professional growth in all things relevant to education, tech, and teacher librarianship.
