I am an experienced Primary School Teacher of 14 years. Throughout my career thus far, I have been in a range of positions such as Classroom Teacher, Learning & Support Teacher (LAST), English as an additional language or dialect teacher (EALD), Aboriginal Education Resource Teacher (AERT). I am now a current practicing Relieving TL. This is my 5^th year in the role and I comprehensively delight in working in a learning environment which delivers cross-curriculum content in a stimulating setting.

I have worked in a variety of socio-economic settings and know just how important school libraries are for children who do not have access to quality literature at home. I am an advocate for making sure that no child goes without a book at home.

I have assisted in providing books to help set up school libraries in Fiji and Africa. After visiting a school in Fiji, I was so inspired by the teachers and students and the school itself.  I interacted with wonderment and awe. I felt compelled to tell all my students about what I had witnessed.

My passions are around exposing children to the rich world of literature. I LOVE storytelling and cherish in times where students can share in the joy and art of storytelling. I want to continue to instil a love of learning and reading. I believe that this love starts from a very young age. I want to be responsible for continuing to make the Library a place that is for all to share and where everyone belongs.

My hope and dream is upon the completion of my Master of Education (Teacher Librarianship) is to continue my teaching as a TL but also have a network of colleagues to share skills and knowledge with. I also hope to be an Indigenous leader in my field. I am proud of my heritage and am working on building capacity around Aboriginal educational resources within my school so that all students and teachers alike can have access to up-to-date material.
