Natasha has worked in both independent and Tasmanian government schools. She started as a primary school teacher and since 2010 has taught in the secondary science and mathematics field. Her background is in Environmental Science with an interest in STEM education and a Graduate Diploma in Science Education. This allows her to bring a creative inquiry component to her teaching and make strong connections with real world applications.

“Developing a student’s ability to identify and interpret problems, critically question findings, develop solutions and make connections to other knowledge is essential in preparing them as lifelong learners. As a teacher my role is to equip students with the tools and skills that they need to become valuable contributors to their communities and help them build self-confidence, enabling them to create rich and rewarding lives for themselves”.

Natasha has two daughters at Fahan school.
