Biography

I joined the early childhood academic team in the School of Education in 2002. Since then, I have been teaching and coordinating many early childhood units. I also hold few leadership positions and provide course advice to M. Teach ( B-12/B-5) students and support academic staff on the Bankstown campus in implementing Academic Integration plans for students with a disability. Before joining UWS, I undertook training, policy, and advocacy works in relation to improving culturally and linguistically diverse families' and children's access to children's services.
