Education

Belinda holds a Bachelor of Education degree with majors in both Cultural Studies and Sociology.  She also trained in Drama/Improvisational Theatre and Teaching English as a Second Language.

Travel Experience

Belinda’s love for travel began in childhood with visits to New Zealand, USA, and Mexico. She later earned a 12-month Rotary Scholarship to study in Denmark, where she learned Danish and explored 12 European countries. Her passion for education was ignited while teaching English in Thailand and working with European students on Summer English programs in the south of England. She spent a year as a Busabout Europe Tour Guide, expanding her historical understanding of Europe and connection with travellers from all corners of the globe.

Recently, Belinda returned from 1.5 years in England, taking full advantage of its proximity to Europe. A proud Melburnian, she has lived and worked in Queensland and Western Australia and visited every state and territory in Australia.

Did You Know?

Belinda has met a few famous actors through her work as an extra in both TV and Film.  She was most thrilled to meet Jackie Chan when on set filming Mr. Nice Guy in Melbourne.
