How long have you worked in early childhood and/or education and care?

I have been working in the early childhood education industry for 15 years.

Why were you drawn to become an educator in early childhood/OSHC?

I became an educator because I am passionate about the early years and enjoy the role as facilitator in a child’s learning journey. I love that each day with the children is different and full of wonder and investigation. 

What is your favourite thing about being a service leader/teacher (Director/Coordinator)?

I am new to the role as service leader/director and I am looking forward to working with a strong team to provide a Kindy that is warm and welcoming. I endeavour to continue providing a place that children can explore and investigate through their play.

What is the best thing about your centre/kindergarten/OSHC

The best thing about our centre is the staff and team. We believe that we are amazing at creating a secure and safe environment for children to feel comfortable, welcomed and ready to learn each day.

What is one thing that you tell all families?

One thing that we always discuss with the children’s parents is our strong connection to the St Catherine's Catholic College. We provide fantastic transitions, special occasion experiences and excursions.

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family in the outdoors, fishing and boating.
