Prior Experience: I commenced my career in the Royal Australian Air Force RAAF in 1989 as a cook, working in RAAF Bases across SA, NSW, and QLD.

I left this role 2000 to travel and work with my husband and children in Saudi Arabia. I worked in early childcare at the Little Jewels Nursery in Dhahran and Stepping Stones Nursery in Khamis Mushayt. This was a fantastic opportunity to work while experiencing a new culture.
