• School Teacher - (Beijing, China)

  • Sep 2018 - Jul 2019

  I worked as a teacher in a well established private school in Beijing, China. We taught the full US based K and G level curriculum. Most of my students were Pre-kindergarten ages 2-4 and I also had 3 elementary level classes with school aged children. I absolutely loved teaching!!! It was an amazing experience cut short by an unfortunate accident which meant I had to return to NZ. I worked as a teacher in a well established private school in Beijing, China.

Prior to launch I was involved in the development of NOC monitoring and automation tools (Zenoss, HUAWEI, Frontrange ITSM) my personal contribution to 2degrees was sole development of the staff intranet and integration with Huawei.
