Kia ora, my name is Jennifer Gregg. I live in Whanganui, where my Great Grandparents, Grandfather and Father were born. I lived in various parts of the North Island as a young person and moved to Australia when I turned 18. I worked in Youth and Community Theatre and studied Theatre Theory and Practice in Sydney. I met my husband at a Community Arts Course and moved north to start our family. I became very homesick after my daughter was born and so moved back to New Zealand. I have been teaching Drama and directing Productions at Secondary Schools since then. This keeps me very busy but I also enjoy cooking (and cooking tv!), reading and writing and I'm about to try gardening in our new home. I love teaching drama as I believe it creates a community and bond that is quite unique. I remember all my students and miss those who have graduated. I look forward to working with new students from a variety of backgrounds.
