I have been part of the Department of Education for over 30 years. My experience across this time has been broad – from a behaviour specialist teacher, Special Education Teacher, MSSWD project coordinator to my current position as Deputy Principal Special at Forest Lake State High School. I am passionate that our sector has equal representation in the rooms and at the tables where decisions are being made. It is with this passion that I put myself forward as part of the management committee of QASEL. I currently represent QASEL on the QCAA Senior Secondary Committee. I look forward to potentially continuing this work for a further 2 year tenure with QASEL management committee.
