My proficiency in communication programs, such as Colourful Semantics, Boardmaker, and PECS, as well as Social Language programs like Zones of Regulation and Social Storying, showcases my versatility and commitment to supporting diverse learner needs.
I endeavor to have a collaborative approach; I am highly experienced in working within educational teams to develop best practice outcomes. My extensive understanding of school processes, including planning and student transitions, further underscores my capability in providing comprehensive support.

My Story
I hold a Bachelor of Education (Specialising in Early Childhood) that I proudly completed in 2016. Since then, I have dedicated my career to making a difference in the lives of young children, working for the Department of Education in South Australia. I have experience in childcare, stand-alone kindergartens and school-based preschools. I have embraced leadership roles, where I have successfully guided and mentored fellow educators, implemented innovative teaching strategies, and contributed to the development of a collaborative and supportive educational environment.
Balancing a career in education with motherhood has given me a unique perspective and strengthened my commitment to supporting young children. As a mum of two, I understand the joys and challenges of parenting, which helps me to connect with families and create empathetic, tailored interventions for each child's needs.
My role
As an Early Childhood Intervention Teacher, I am deeply committed to nurturing and empowering young children to reach their fullest potential. With a compassionate and holistic approach, I collaborate with families, therapists, and other educators to create inclusive, enriching play-based learning experiences to support children’s development across all learning domains.
