I am a dedicated educator and advocate for creativity, inclusion, and holistic wellbeing. With a Master of Teaching (Secondary) from Australian Catholic University, majoring in History and Visual Arts, and a Diploma of Creative Arts and Health from the University of Tasmania, I bring a unique blend of skills and passions to my professional work. To further enhance my ability to support others, I am preparing to begin studies in counselling, which will complement my focus on fostering personal growth and resilience through education and the arts.I am about to begin a part-time role at Viewbank College, teaching Art, Textiles, and Visual Communication. In this role, I strive to inspire students to explore their creativity, develop practical design skills, and express themselves in meaningful ways. My teaching approach is rooted in the belief that the arts are a powerful medium for personal and collective transformation.In addition to my teaching role, I am the founder and coordinator of Harmony Health and Wellbeing Support Services, a company I recently established to provide meaningful support to individuals seeking a better quality of life. Through this venture, I aim to create a compassionate and empowering environment for those navigating personal challenges.I also work as an Educator for SANE Australia at The Dax Centre, where I guide visitors through exhibitions that explore the profound connection between mental health and art. This work allows me to promote greater awareness of mental health issues and the transformative power of artistic expression.My professional journey is driven by a deep commitment to education, creativity, and wellbeing. Whether in the classroom, the gallery, or the community, I am passionate about making a positive impact and helping others reach their full potential.
