Summary

I bring a diverse skill set spanning education, healthcare, and administrative roles. As a dedicated educator with nearly two decades of experience in special education, I have consistently enhanced student learning and engagement through effective classroom management and tailored instructional strategies that address individual needs. I was honoured as the runner-up for Special Education Teacher of the Year in Western Australia, reflecting my strong commitment to educational excellence.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong leadership and collaboration across various roles, including Senior Teacher and Relief Deputy Principal. Prior to entering the education sector, I gained valuable experience as an Enrolled Nurse, Medical Receptionist, Office Administrator, and Student Support Officer. Across all positions, I have upheld a high level of professionalism, demonstrating empathy, strong communication skills, and the ability to navigate sensitive and high-pressure situations with care and competence.
