Bachelor of Education

Originally from Scotland, I had the luck to meet and marry a young man from New Zealand while I was travelling. We have two boys who went to school locally but have since flown the nest.

I love the variety of my role in looking for ways to support students across years 0-13. There is no one-size-fits all, so I am on a continuous quest to up-skill, to understand and discover the best way forward for individuals.

Outside of school I enjoy spending time with family and friends. If the weather is right, you can find me either on or in the sea, or in the bush getting amongst nature.

Diploma in Teaching, Certificate in Life Coaching

My family moved to Snells Beach 23 years ago to start up an alternative education school. I love what the smaller community vibe brings, meeting new people and keeping active with my family.

The combination of teaching and life coaching led me to being a Wellbeing Coach at Horizon 2 days a week. I believe students need a safe place where they feel they belong and their strengths are celebrated.

I like nothing better than to connect with friends and family and enjoying what our community has to offer. One of my greatest achievements was walking Base Camp a few years ago.

I am married, and a mother of four sons. My family and I relocated from South Africa in January of 2018.

I am a teacher's aide, and I thoroughly enjoy assisting children who require additional support. It brings me great joy to witness their progress and development.

I am a person who prefers the comforts of home. I find great pleasure in reading and crocheting. Additionally, I truly value the infrequent chances to engage socially with my friends. I cherish the moments spent with my family, whether it be on the farm or embarking on exciting adventures.
