Career Passions

For over 14 years, my professional journey within the Vocational Education and Training (VET) TAFE sector has provided me with a purpose that aligns deeply with my values: equitable education. Throughout my career I have worked with Employer Based Training, Customer Service, Academic Systems and Support, the challenges of Staff Training, and more recently Project Management, and have in each role, noted that my heart has always been in education. I am passionate about dismantling barriers and ensuring that education is not just a privilege but a right for everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances. My persistent pursuit of subject knowledge isn't just about professional growth; it's about unlocking doors to possibilities for all staff, knowing that by having a positive effect on them and how they show up in the work environment, is then extended to our students. I love a challenge, and as a Project Manager, who is also operational, with a focus on systems and platforms from TechnologyOne and Microsoft, I continually seek to create more inclusive systems, processes, and user experiences for both internal and external clients. I am a strong proponent of knowledge sharing and want to empower individuals and teams to not just follow procedure, but to evolve and to constantly be curious always asking “why”. I find my passion and purpose within my career by breaking down walls, fostering diversity, and finding the potential in every individual, irrespective of their intersections or challenges.
