What led you to a career in the childcare industry?
I was led to this career path as I have a deep passion for Early Childhood Education sector and the responsibility of center management.
What are your favourite memories within the workspace?
Each year the center participates in the Diamond Creek Town Fair, an community event where the community comes together to celebrate and connect with one another. Each year, families and educators come together, helping each other decorate the centers float to then participate in the parade where all of Diamond creek community watch and cheer on, seeing the smiles on all our families and children’s faces is truly an rewarding experience.
Who Inspires you and why?
My primary school principal Mr Martin. Mr Martin always made me feel important despite the struggle I had fitting in as a child. Reading and writing at that time was a challenge growing up. With Mr Martins support I gained strength and confidence with his endless support and encouragement. Mr Martin was such an inspiration and continued to do so throughout my life. Mr Martin attended my wedding in 2012, 30 years later.
What are you passionate about?
My horses and all that goes with it … I have competed on a serious level over the years and still thrive to achieve records and titles . My career and managing my center to the best of my abilities is another passion I have . I thrive to manege my center in an exceeding manner while maintaining the relationships with all involved .
What type of leadership style do you have?
I tend to navigate a open style leadership approach as I find it to be more effective for the experience of the team. I like to involve all team member for their skills and input as they are experience educators, mostly with over 5 – 20 years experience.
