Adventures in New York City!


I was lucky enough to be sent overseas by Elevate to present to school students in New York. Not only was this a chance to challenge myself as a presenter in new and exciting school environments, but there was plenty of time for sightseeing and adventures as well!

New York City!

Presenting in New York brought a whole fresh set of challenges and rewards. Here, the workload steadily increased, with a busy schedule presenting to some disenfranchised students. But these challenges gave birth to some of the most rewarding workshops I have ever been a part of. The feeling of getting through to that uninspired, unmotivated student who previously saw no point to their schooling, or being personally thanked for giving a student a simple skill to make their busy life a little simpler, is a reward that you’ll struggle to find in any other job.

And of course, what would a trip to New York be without the chance to get along to NBA games at Madison Square Garden, catch a Broadway musical, get lost inside the MET, eat all the pretzels and donuts you can stomach and get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the city that never sleeps!

Without a doubt these international experiences have not only taught me how to be a better presenter, but have given me the confidence to tackle new challenges with an open-mind and persistence. These trips will push your comfort zone and test your skills – the rewards are well worth it!
