Centre Director – 19+ years of experience

“Today I'm passionate about supporting children, families and our wider community while creating opportunities for educators to continue learning and growing.” I began my early learning journey in 2007 and have worked across almost every role before becoming Centre Director. Watching my own children grow and learn inspired my career. My leadership is guided by three simple questions: What's best? What's next? What else? These questions help shape our culture of reflection, collaboration and continuous improvement. What I love most about Busy Bees at Westmeadows is our team culture, where everyone works together with mutual respect to create the very best outcomes for children and families.
