About Julie Swift
  
    
      I'm a post-graduate researcher in Careers Development at Canterbury Christchurch university.   My special interest is inclusive practice due to my previous work experience as a TA.  I've also researched the use of Virtual reality technology to increase engagement in Education as part of my Masters.  I'd love to work in partnership with schools to find solutions that help systemic problems.
