She is single, born in Australia and has always lived with her parents at Pelican Flat, NSW Mary-Ann ambition is to pursue a career as a university academic however she has found her opportunities in Australia limited by the fact she does not have a PHD. After canvassing many international Universities she was successful in securing a six month teaching contract with the University of Great Britain based in Coventry, England. The University has advised they may consider a further 12 month extension to the contract provided they are satisfied with her performance. Mary-Anne has been granted a 12 month UK working visa and will apply for an extension to the visa if offered further work at the University. She left Australia on 1 March 2017 to commence her contract on l April 2017.

Mary-Anne is unsure of her actions if the UK contract is not extended. At that time she will make a decision to either apply for another teaching position in the UK or return to Australia to commence PHD studies
