Founder | Director of Learning | OSHCologist | Researcher

With almost two decades in OSHC and my postgraduate research in educational leadership, I design professional learning that strengthens the role of the Educational Leader. Drawing on my Graduate Certificate in Education (Learning & Leadership), I created the Educational Leadership MicroCasts to provide evidence-informed, sector-specific insights that are practical and relatable. These episodes support Educational Leaders to mentor with confidence, link theory to practice, and lead reflective conversations that drive program quality and continuous improvement.
