About me
I teach Hospitality and Events Management Students. My main areas of teaching focus on human resource management and occupational health and safety tied in with events management. The project that Rob and I are doing with the 2nd year Hospitality Management students is really exciting and has inspired me to integrate the use of technology and other teaching tools to assist in the practical facilitation of learning. It is motivating to see the rewards that the students have achieved from the shift away from the traditional style of classroom lecturing. I look forward to participating in this project to assist me in creating greater knowledge and resources to share with future teachers and students.
