I strive to create welcoming and inclusive spaces where girls feel supported to step outside their comfort zones, believe in themselves, and reach their full potential. I am deeply inspired by St Ursula’s commitment to girls’ education and holistic development, and the College motto SERVIAM which strongly reflects my own approach to teaching. I am excited to work within the Ursuline Vision to ‘Ignite the Spirit’ in students by fostering a genuine love of learning and empowering each student to grow academically, socially, and personally. Outside the classroom, I have a strong love for dance and all things sport, and I am eager to share this enthusiasm through co-curricular involvement and school life.
