Biography

I have been a classroom teacher for over 17 years. From 2020, I successfully taught multiple units to both undergraduate and postgraduate students in QLD and NSW. Currently, I am a lecturer at UNE. My research interests focus on parenting behaviours, mental health, involvement, children's social-emotional development and the awareness of early childhood teachers and educators regarding inclusive education in areas of disability.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
