I am passionate about being a positive role model and changing the lives of the young people in my community. My caring nature and dedication to the wellbeing of my students prompted the senior school cohort to formally request me as their Year Coordinator this year. I have relished every moment of this pastoral care role, often taking the students out in nature to learn more about themselves and their resilience.

Due to the incredible success of the Media program amongst students, I was awarded the opportunity to create the Media Academy program; a selective Arts program for passionate and curious students. The program ran before school as well as during school hours. The Academy was so successful, we had to add a second class to keep up with demand.

I created a whole-school literacy intervention program that enhanced the literacy skills of all students and didn't bore the children to tears. I am currently serving as the Head of Literacy at Denmark Senior High, overseeing whole school literacy programs to ensure every student has the skills needed to thrive in this world.

I created Rainbow Club to help increase the safety and awareness in our small country town of our rainbow students. The club is a space for LGBTQIA+ students and allies to gather, discuss ideas, and celebrate everyone's identity. The students successfully celebrated the school's first Wear it Purple Day and created a fundraiser for the charity.
