Meet the Teachers

Being a part of the Box Hill North Kindergarten community is something I am most proud of.  I enjoy being a part of the lightbulb moments in children’s learning and creating a space where each child feels heard and supported. I have a Bachelor of Education (EC), and a Bachelor of Music. Outside of kinder, I enjoy spending time with my husband and dog, Samantha. I also love to sing and play piano.

I love being part of a kinder that is connected with a school and its community.  Our children enjoy visiting the chickens and connecting with each other.  Outside of kinder, I enjoy cooking, gardening and going on adventures with my family and dog.

I love seeing our children make discoveries and gain confidence.  We’re lucky to be part of a school where children can experience a sense of belonging.  Outside hours, you’ll find me busy making things with fabric or paper, reading, going for walks, and spending time with my family and friends.

I love our community for its positive, caring and sense of inclusion.  I have a Diploma in Early Childhood, and have been a part of Box Hill North Primary Kindergarten since 2016. There are very strong relationships between staff and families.  Outside of school I love spending time with my dog Milo and spending time with friends and family.

I joined Box Hill North Kindergarten in 2023 and love being a part of this positive environment of very lovely and supportive families, adorable children with inquiring minds and a dream team of Educators. I have more than 10 years of experience in this industry and I am pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education to be an even better teacher, which is my passion. Outside of Kinder I enjoy spending time with my family, reading and painting on canvas’.

I’m grateful to work across all levels at Box Hill North, supporting children with their learning.  I’m happy when I see children that I’ve supported smile when they realize that success is all of their own doing.  Out of hours, I love walking my two cheeky dogs, Milly and Charlie.

I love the Japanese language and culture and enjoy sharing my passion with students. The staff are friendly and supportive and my day is filled with children greeting me with a smile and a cheerful konnichiwa!  Outside of school, I appreciate spending time with family, camping, musicals and watching netball.
