My family and I are very excited to have made the move to Denmark to join this special community! I share your dream for children to be raised in a school that promotes community, a love of learning, connection with the environment, and of course learning through play. I feel honoured to join this team and lead the school to build upon the achievements that it’s community has made since its conception.

As a passionate and experienced teacher, I began my learning journey into nature pedagogy at Bold Park Community School, and developed my skills in this teaching alongside Elders on Country in a remote Aboriginal school in the Pilbara. I then worked as a curriculum consultant with the CSIRO where I co-authored a resource for schools integrating traditional Indigenous knowledge and learning on Country with the WA curriculum, and most recently returned as Principal back in the Pilbara.

I have always been focussed on student well-being and student learning, and pride myself as being approachable and collaborative in order to deliver the best outcomes for students, families, and teachers. If you are a prospective parent, I look forward to meeting with you soon and supporting your children to become life-long learners.
