I have worked the last 13 years as a classroom teacher. After graduating from ACU in 2008, I started my teaching career at Cana Catholic Primary School, Melbourne. While there, I taught grades 1, 2 and 4.In 2014, after 7 years at Cana, I moved to Cairns, Far North Queensland where I taught Year 2/3 at St. Augustine's Primary School, Mossman.After one year at Mossman I accepted a position of foundation staff at MacKillop Catholic College, Mt Peter (Cairns). Over the last 5 years I have taught year 2 and year 6. I have also been involved in building staff knowledge and skills in using innovative learning environments as part of 21st century learning pedagogy.In 2020, I returned to ACU to begin my Masters in Educational Leadership.Throughout 2020, I participated in a program to develop the skills and capabilities of Middle Leaders. This was facilitated by QELi (Queensland Education Leadership Institute) and QCEC (Queensland Catholic Education Commission). The program was about becoming a 'Globally Engaged Middle Leader'. Throughout the program I have developed a passion for developing our students into responsible global citizens. I have enjoyed learning about the Sustainability Compass and the Sustainable Development Goals and look forward to incorporating these tools and resources into my future teaching.
