“I am very passionate about creating an environment that is consistent and predictable for all children to feel safe and secure, so that their learning happens instinctively.”

My qualifications and experience 

I have a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education from Macquarie University, graduating in 2000. 

I started at SDN in January 2002 and have been in a Centre Director role ever since then. I have been the Centre Director at SDN Paddington since 2022.

What I'm most passionate about in my role 

I am passionate about creating an environment that is consistent and predictable for all children to feel safe and secure, so that their learning happens instinctively. 

Children, families and staff are welcomed into our SDN village with open arms and greeted with warmth and genuine kindness.

What I love about working with SDN 

Over the 20 years that I have been with SDN, I have valued the incredible support that I get from all sections of the organisation that help me to do my role to the best of my ability.  

I also love the incredible team I work with everyday who treat each other like family and where you can hear genuine laughter coming from the staff room almost every lunch time.

A little bit more about me 

My husband and I are huge movie buffs and enjoy a good movie; whether it is at home or at the cinemas. However, since our daughter’s birth in 2017 and coupled with COVID, we haven’t had the pleasure of going to the movies as much as we would like to... so, bingeing on drama series is one of our favourite pastimes now!
