Centre Director – 30+ years of experience

"The laughter and chatter of children filling our dining space reminds me every day why I love what I do." I began my early learning journey in 1994, inspired by a love of watching children discover the wonders that leave a lasting imprint on their hearts and minds. More than 30 years later, it's still the children who keep me passionate, along with the privilege of leading a team of educators who bring their best every day. I love that Busy Bees Salisbury Downs feels like one big family. Outside of work, I'm a proud mum and grandmother, and you'll usually find me playing board games with my grandchildren.

“I love seeing the joy on children's faces as they take part in learning experiences designed to spark their curiosity and inspire new discoveries.” I began my early learning journey in 2012, inspired by a desire to give children a safe and secure environment where they become confident learners. What I love most about Busy Bees Salisbury Downs is the connection we share with our families. Our centre feels like its own family, where we support and champion one another every day so every child feels welcome here. I'm a coffee lover, and outside of work you'll find me watching true crime documentaries and thrillers.

Family Advocate

I began my early learning journey in 2025, inspired by becoming a mum and wanting every child to experience the benefits of quality early education. As a proud mum to two boys, I strive to provide the same care and support I would hope for my own children, ensuring every family feels confident their child is safe, nurtured and known as an individual. What I love most about Busy Bees at Salisbury Downs is our spacious family dining area, where children and educators come together and centre-wide events create the warm, family-oriented atmosphere that makes our community so special.
