At what age did you start instructing?

Why did you apply for the APSI National Team?

I applied to the APSI National Team to represent the APSI Adaptive discipline on the world stage, as well as to build and grow the disciple here in Australia.

What area of the APSI are you most interested in developing?

Continuing to improve the all instructors teaching repertoire to work with their students, no matter what their background, or challenges may be.

What do you hope to learn during your time on the APSI National team?

I am excited to learn from all national teams at the conference what their approach to adaptive instruction is with their guests within their countries and teaching systems, as well as their training and education tools, along with their assessment strategies. I also am always excited to learn from the APSI National Team members about their approach to adaptive instruction.
