Summary

I am a capable, articulate and enthusiastic professional who has a strong passion for ensuring my leadership style is one which positively impacts, and enriches the lives of those working alongside me.


My experience in the early childhood sector has given me the opportunity to gain skills which see's me experienced in working in fast paced environments, focused on the Education and care of children aged 0-6 years; Whilst ensuring national quality standards, legislation and regulations are being adhered to and exceeded.


I take great pride in creating a collaborative Centre environment and team culture, as I have a strong belief that an exceeding level of care and education can only be provided if my team feel respected, valued and appreciated.


I value open and honest communication which provides opportunities for further growth and development and allows individuals to flourish in their individual skillset and personality style.


After working in the Early childhood sector for 14 years, I am ready and excited to utilize my comprehensive skill set to continue supporting individuals, children and families in areas not limited to early education and care.
