Goodstart Early Learning Braddon

A little bit about me: I am married, a mother of two teenage daughters and one fluffy cat. I grew up in the Blue Mountains in New South Wales, surrounded by bushland. I have been a dancer since I was four years old, though finding the time to take classes these days is quite the challenge! I am an avid reader. Books are my one true love and you will never find me without one. I drink too much coffee and am a lover of terrible jokes.

Career wise, I am a qualified Early Childhood Teacher and began teaching in 2008. During my time as an ECT I have taught every age group from our Nursery aged children up to Preschool, supporting our children to become excited about starting ‘big school’.

I moved into my role as a Centre Director in 2017 as I wanted to be a bigger part of helping to create strong, happy teams to run the best possible early childhood education experience for children. I have been with Goodstart since January 2019, since moving from Sydney to Melbourne and now to the ACT with my family.

I am extremely passionate about providing the highest quality education and care for children and strongly believe that this can only occur with solid partnerships between centre and families. I want our service to feel like a second home to not just the children, but also to their families and of course our team of Educators.

Effective communication is so important to me. As a parent, I think – what do I want to know when it comes to my children? The answer to that is everything! I will always aim to be available to you to be as communicative as possible with you all.

I am really looking forward to getting to know you all.
