What I'm looking for

I seek a supportive education or childcare role where I can deliver individualized student support, design engaging programs, collaborate with teams, and grow professionally in a child-centred environment.

I am an organised and dependable early childhood educator with extensive experience across nursery, OSHC and primary school support roles. I recently moved to Brisbane from Hobart and currently work as an Educator at Little Genesis Early Learning Centre and Genesis OSHC.

I have provided one-on-one support for students with ASD, ADHD, trauma backgrounds, anxiety and dyslexia, led junior kindergarten rooms, designed short-term learning programs, and maintained accurate child records. I have also worked as an admissions advisor and as a support worker assisting clients with diverse needs.

My strengths include classroom and behaviour management, program and resource design, strong communication with families, and a creative background in music, photography and graphic design that supports engaging learning experiences.
