Meet our Alumni
"It dawned on me how important [my] education experience was and how I wanted to return that experience back into regional Australia.
Then I had the great opportunity to make that happen with Teach For Australia at Katherine High - to be that really inspiring teacher for our young people.
I took that opportunity on and haven't looked back since."
