My name is Kaitlyn Smith and I originally went to university to study art. I then worked as a waitress for 3 years. This left me feeling unfulfilled and wanting to do more with my life. I decided to become a teacher. This seemed perfect as my I had a love of knowledge, I had always tried to share that love with others, and I’ve always loved interacting with children. As a teacher I plan to support a love of learning in all students and encourage in them a curiosity about the world.
As a reader, I became hooked when my best friend convinced me to start reading in primary school. I read as many books as I could. I loved fantasy and science fiction novels. I learnt that the thicker the book the more likely it was to have a detailed story, and the longer it would take me to read it. That is how I came to read many different authors, from Isobelle Carmody, to Sara Douglass, to Sherri S. Tepper, to Brian Aldriss, to J.R.R. Tolkien. I still read avidly, although now I read a wider range of genres. I still read fantasy and science fiction but it is now interspersed with biographies and histories, classical and general literature, and the occasional crime or horror novel.
