Ms Hodges, who is currently completing her Master of Education, said teaching was a shared passion in her family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have always wanted to be a teacher and I\u2019m looking forward to getting into the classroom and applying all the knowledge and skills that I have acquired over the past few years of training.<\/p>\n
