Summary

Dedicated early childhood educator with over five years of experience at G8, where I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of my journey. I have successfully progressed to the role of Room Leader, a position I have held for two and a half years, while also serving as an Educational Leader for over a year. I completed my Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care where I spent my placement at Community Kids Morley. Subsequently, I earned my Diploma through CTAS, achieving Responsible Person status. Currently, I am pursuing my Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood Studies) at Edith Cowan University, supported by the G8 scholarship.

My passion for early childhood education drives me to deepen my understanding of industry operations, ensuring safety and compliance at all levels. Throughout my time, I have built strong relationships with families and educators, contributing to a supportive and vibrant community at the centre. Additionally, I have gained valuable experience in an Assistant Manager role, utilizing Xplor for administration, managing communications, and overseeing centre operations. I am eager to continue my growth within G8 and make a positive impact in the lives of children and families.
