With over five years of experience as an educator, including my current role as a support unit teacher, I bring a deep understanding of diverse learning needs and the power of inclusion. My journey in education began as a volunteer in schools, followed by work as a Student Learning and Support Officer. I’ve also had the privilege of mentoring fellow university students and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students through the Australia Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME).

As a mother to four teenage sons, I’ve developed strong organisational, relational, and nurturing skills that enrich my ability to connect with others. My experiences have deepened my commitment to fostering inclusion and empowering individuals to embrace their unique values, strengths and identities.

Determined to create a better future for myself and my family, I completed my education degree in only 3.5 years with distinguished results. This journey was not only about building opportunities but also about reclaiming my power and practising self-love. It stands as a testament to the transformative impact of self-empowerment, resilience, and a deep commitment to personal growth.
