Qualifications: Bachelor of Education (Primary) and Graduate Certificate in Catholic Studies
I completed my Bachelor of Education at Deakin University in 2009. I majored in Performing Arts and minored in Health. I completed my graduate certificate in Catholic studies at the Australian Catholic University in 2014.
In 2010 I began my teaching career at Christ the King Primary School. I had a break from teaching between 2016 and 2022 to begin my family. I am so excited to be back in the classroom again and I am very proud to be a part of the Christ the King school community.
Throughout my teaching career I have had many different teaching experiences. I have taught classroom music, classroom Indonesian as well as all grade levels from Foundation to Grade 6.
One of my interests is learning about the brain and how the brain develops as well as children’s mental health and wellbeing. Whenever I get a chance I complete professional development on these topics.
Drive:
I am passionate about teaching. My classroom is an inclusive environment for all students and I strive for high quality teaching and learning. I aim for a teaching and learning environment that enables children to reach their full potential so they are equipped with lifelong knowledge and are inspired to follow their passions as they grow and develop.
