Hayley Sommeling-Farrugia is an education nerd. She assigned herself extra subjects in high school and threw herself into subjects like Linguistics and Latin once at uni. Once she has an idea, she professionally roles with it, making her a big ball of educational knowledge and experience. Hayley is an experienced Swimming Teacher, Early Years Education Teacher, Primary School Teacher and has experience ranging from teaching inclusive practices, primary school French, to a term of high school Photography, somehow. This experience of crashing into new areas of education and diving deep to become as knowledgeable as possible in them all, has made Hayley an asset in developing content that considers the educational journey from start to finish, as she knows first-hand the experiences and knowledge and challenges of the educators.
