At the moment...
IT manager in Hraunvallaskóli
I'm Icelandic, living in Iceland again after 4 years in Norway. I speak Norwegian, Danish and have excellent English, as I lived and went to school in Australia for nearly six years.
I moved to Norway in the summer of 2012 seeking a more fertile work market, with my partner, who is a carpenter. I started working as a substitute in kindergarten, soaking up all the Norwegian possible. I took on a substitute position in a Norwegian school as an assistant to a young child with special needs. Later I taught arts in 5th to 9th grade as well as teaching 9th grade Geografi. I worked at NOV as a Technical Course Developer, working with instructors developing technical teaching material, when the oil crises hit and I was one of 1500 employees who were laid off.
At the moment, I am an IT manager in Hraunvallaskóli, in Hafnarfjörður. I use my extra time to soak up all kinds of interesting information on schooling and IT, reading, writing and managing my alzheimer site on facebook and running my small import company Smádeilur ehf.
