I am an inspirational educational leader, with over two decades of experience, who leads and aspires to creating and developing positive learning cultures that empower learning communities to thrive, not only academically but social-emotionally. An experienced educational leader with an open, empathic, and relational approach. My capacity to lead and manage change has delivered successful outcomes across a diverse range of coeducational contexts including the working closely with Indigenous students, Trauma-informed frameworks, Early Years Learning Framework, International Baccalaureate PYP and Restorative practices. I am passionate about invigorating school cultures that can effect change for the common good; my enthusiasm and energy driven by a resolute focus on providing authentic, positive educational experiences and environments, for all young people. I take pride in working from an adaptive, strengths-based approach to motivate and empower others to flourish and take seriously the importance of collaborative, inclusive and ethical decision-making processes. As an accomplished public speaker and communicator, I enjoy delivering high-quality professional learning workshops for teams in my areas of speciality, particularly evidence-based pedagogy related to trauma-informed practice, pastoral care, engagement strategies for junior students including those at-risk, and positive education. With my coaching and mentoring experience, I am skilled in involving others in vision-building, and the development and achievement of strategic agendas, and have a proven track-record of engaging key stakeholders to work in partnership to support young people.
