I never thought I would find myself writing this blog post, but here I am. I am saying goodbye to a team (NGPF) and community (you!) that welcomed me with open arms over four years ago. Many of you have become like my second family. Your emails just to say hi, friendly chat box comments, and smiling faces during FinCamps, VPDs and conferences always brightened my day.
In my final blog post, I thought it would be appropriate to let you in on some of the magic that is NGPF!
Looking back, my time at NGPF feels like a whirlwind. I’m fortunate to have traveled to meet so many of you in person and to get a glimpse into the magic of your cities and states. I leave the USA with a greater appreciation of the diversity of the country, the beauty of the National Parks, and the bond that educators everywhere share - your passion for your students and their learning drives you to continually go above and beyond.
What’s next you ask? In this unprecedented year of social distancing, travel restrictions, and living life online, my husband and I have also welcomed our first child, Owen, to the world. With him and our family members in mind, we’ve decided to return to Australia to spend more time with family. While I’m still working out what comes next for me professionally, it’s safe to say that I’ll be continuing to work in education to increase access to high-quality education.
I’ll be continuing to champion NGPF’s efforts from afar - and fair warning, you’re likely to find me in a VPD or two, continuing to learn from this great community.
Best wishes to each and every one of you,
