I am an Early Childhood Educator, Trainer and Assessor, passionate about mentoring educators to deeply understand the current research on early childhood neuroscience and development and consequently the impact this should have on the practices of caregivers. I believe the role of nurturing children's development is one of the most important and critical impacts one could have on a society. I believe in the importance of the phrase " you don't know what you don't know" and therefore recognise the responsibility of experienced educators working together with beginning educators, sharing knowledge and modelling learning and professional growth.I have extensive experience working in Early Childhood and Outside School Hours settings, in casual educator, educational leader, Kindergarten Teacher and Nominated Supervisor roles. This meant I researched and built an understanding around the legislative requirements and Frameworks that frame the Early Years profession including NQF, NQS, EYLF, MTOP, UNROC, COE. Most recently I have am working as a Trainer and Assessor with a private Registered Training Organisation to support students studying their Certificates and Diplomas in Early Childhood while also presenting professional development training sessions in this profession. Ultimately, in my career progression, I aim to continue to positively influence educators understandings of children's development and consequently equip them with the skills to bring about positive outcomes for children. While I may not be able to affect change in the practices of every educator, I can deeply affect those I work with through positive and meaningful coaching and mentoring and therefore impact change for the children those educatos work with.
