Author and Motivational Talks

 

Author Talks:

​

Author visits are available in person and online via zoom, for Kindergarten to adults. My preference is for class sizes up to a full stage in a session. This allows for more interaction and student engagement.

​

I have worked as a casual primary school teacher with the NSW Department of Education for eight years. Following the pandemic I began teaching English and Creative in a private coaching college, and I am currently in my fourth year there.

 

 In my author talks I bring my teaching experience and my love of books together to promote children's engagement and joy in the world around them through the power of words.

​

While my teaching experience has predominately been in the primary school, I am also experienced in presenting to high school students and adult groups.

​

I hold a current NSW working with children check.

​

Topics to choose from as part of presentation:

A discussion about each of my books and a book reading.

A discussion of themes: feelings, safety, friendship.

A discussion about the process of self-publishing, what is involved. (aimed for stage 2 and above)

Features of writing. Please discuss specific areas to discuss or explore during a workshop with me.

A general discussion about all of the above.

Motivational Talks and Discussions:

​

I have worked in the disability sector, been a carer, and have disabilities of my own. I understand what it is like to be seen as 'different'. 

 

My motivational presentations are designed to promote inclusion and awareness. I aim to empower those with disabilities or difficulties and to promote understanding and acceptance in others.

 

These presentations are ideal for students from year 3 to 12, and adult groups.
