I have 18 years of experience in the early childhood industry. My goal is to encourage all the educators to create learning environments that are inclusive, interactive and positive. I also aim to build positive relationships with families, educators and children. I am passionate about what I do and strive to do my absolute best for everyone.

Centre Manager, Swan Academy Chatswood

I have learnt and improved so much since I started working here. The relationships between staff and management are fantastic. Everyone in the centre shared their ideas and encouraged each other for better improvements. I put a lot of effort in creating interactive learning spaces for the children and am proud of my achievements so far.
