Background: I’ve just finished my early childhood degree (teaching) so I think I’m a teacher (That sounds boring doesn’t it!!) but it’s lots of fun. Lots of kids – working with these cool cats. I play lots of music and as well as singing, I play trumpet. I’ve lived in Launceston all my life, and have been a Christian almost that long :) It’s the best thing ever. I love my friends, love people and kids, and like life! :) Come and dance with us.
