Summary

I have worked as a Administration and Finance Manager/Director for the past 16 years owning 7 cafes during this time. I have found the day to day work and the ongoing challenges of being a small business owner deeply rewarding. I enjoy working hard in a diverse and dynamic team. My desire to work at Lance Holt School came many years ago when my children were lucky enough to begin their educational journey at Lance Holt School. From the moment I walked in the door I was immediately taken with warmth of the community and the unique teaching philosophy which encourages and supports children in their growth as a humans while fostering a love of learning.
