Secondary School Teacher, Licensed in English and History (5-12)
Originally from the United States, I am a licensed secondary school teacher in English (5-12) and History/Social Sciences (5-12), grounded in a strong foundation of educational theory and practice. I recently graduated from the Harvard Graduate School of Education with a Master of Education in Teaching and Teacher Leadership.
Now based in Canberra, I am eager to continue my commitment to education by seeking opportunities to teach Humanities at the secondary school level. Looking ahead, I aspire to pursue a PhD in teacher education and explore roles in administration and policy to further expand my impact in the education field.
I look forward to connecting with fellow alumni and building a supportive community here in Australia!

Dr Shann Turnbull is the founding principal of the International Institute for Self-governance and a Founding Life Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. After a Harvard MBA, Shann became a serial entrepreneur, establishing over a dozen firms including two public mutual funds and three publicly traded corporations. He became a founding author/presenter of the first educational qualification in the world for company directors. The United Nations published a summary of his 1975 book Democratising the Wealth of Nations. He was invited to Prague in 1990-91 and Beijing in 1991 to advise on stakeholder privatisation. He authored Australian Parliamentary reports on Aboriginal self-determination in 1977-78. His 2001 PhD from Macquarie University created a methodology to establish the science of governance of any species, and introduced the self-governing concept of Tensegrity. Shann is a prolific author on using the self-governing practices of biota to purify and spread capitalism
