Training was never on Jodi’s radar as a career option. Raised in the education sector with teaching parents, step-parents and grandparents, she was determined to forge her own path. It wasn’t until her mid-thirties, university and trade-qualified, that Jodi realised teaching might be a sensible career choice – allowing her to combine her skills as a qualified chef and her enjoyment of science.

In 2009 destiny got the upper hand and she joined GOTAFE, teaching in the Hospitality and VCAL departments. Jodi has an unwavering passion for achieving the best outcomes for all her students by ensuring her program delivery, resources and their format are all governed by what works best for them.
