Currently I am the Acting Principal of Red Hill Special School. I have worked in leadership positions at three special schools prior to being at Red Hill. As a leader I am driven by improving student outcomes and building capability of staff to ensure they have the confidence and capabilities to deliver high quality teaching and learning. In 2022 I was awarded the QASEL service award for my work as a special school representative on a central office project. This saw be become more interested in the advocacy role QASEL plays in the special education sector. For the past two years I have represented QASEL as a Regional Councillor. I have facilitated regional meetings and worked with the state council to review policies in this role. I have enjoyed connecting with members from all sectors in this role to gather information and seek feedback on any matters of concern, and I hope to further represent members as part of the management committee in 2025.
