"My passion, is and always will be, inclusive practices and advocating for those who are unable to do so for themselves."

My qualifications and experience

I hold a Bachelor of Teaching (Early Childhood Education) and have over 25 years' experience in early childhood education and care. I commenced as Centre Director of SDN Beranga in April 2023.

What I'm most passionate about in my role

My passion, is and always will be, inclusive practices and advocating for those who are unable to do so for themselves. As a child, my parents provided respite care to many children from traumatic and less fortunate backgrounds, and it was clear the positive impact this had on their lives from an early age.

What I love about working with SDN

I love that everyone at SDN is very friendly, welcoming and supportive and that I feel like I have found my forever place. It is really lovely to work with like-minded people and to see the SDN values in practice each and every day.

A little bit more about me

I am originally from London, arriving in Sydney as a teenager with my family as we migrated for a better lifestyle. My greatest joy is my three amazing children; one is a teacher, one is a nurse, and one is a student.

I love to travel, cook and read, have day trips to the beach, go for long bush and coastal walks, but most of all spend time with my beautiful family.

My favourite holiday destination is Rhulani Lodge, South Africa. I am yet to find a more beautiful place to be.
