School Board

I joined Floreat in 2017 as Deputy Principal and have worked closely with the staff and community to build the school we have today.

I originally came to Australia as a Principal Consultant with the Department of Education. My role was to help school leaders and teachers improve literacy and numeracy outcomes, with a particular focus on leveraging the power of digital technologies.

Prior to that, in the UK, I spent fifteen years leading improvement in several inner-city schools.

With 10 years of teaching experience across Pre-primary to Year 2, I have developed a deep understanding of our school and a genuine passion for play-based learning, recognising the vital role it plays as a foundation for children to thrive in their early years.

Building strong relationships, fostering teamwork and maintaining open communication are values I hold deeply, and ones I believe are fundamental to any well-functioning Board. Above all, I believe every decision made at Board level should centre on what is best for the students.

I know our school well and appreciate the important responsibility the Board holds in supporting the school and its broader community. As a parent, I have been involved with Floreat Park Primary School since 2010 and have three boys who have grown up here, making great friends and creating lasting memories.

Being both a parent and an educator at Floreat Park has given me a deep appreciation for everything that makes this such a wonderful place to learn and grow. I am eager to bring energy and commitment to my Board role, helping shape the school’s strategic direction and continuing to invest in the students, staff and community that make Floreat Park so special.

I am a parent of a child in Year 3 currently and another one who left in Year 6 in 2025.

My family and I moved back to Perth in 2023.  I lived in Perth previously, starting from high school age and completed my degree at UWA (Engineering and Commerce) before moving away. I am pleased to have returned to Perth and to the wonderful lifestyle it has to offer us as a family, having spent several years living and working in the Eastern States and then predominantly in London within global organisations.  I hope to use my personal and professional experience (management consulting, digital transformation and strategy across various industries) to support the important work the school does in preparing the children to become global citizens.

My family and I have greatly enjoyed becoming part of the Floreat school community, both in terms of the curriculum standard and variety, as well as the sense of inclusion and welcome we have felt.

My youngest son commenced Kindy at FPPS in 2024.  I have previously served as a parent representative on the School Board at Kapinara Primary School, the last of which was as Chair.

Professionally, I am an Adviser Partner at Koda Capital (the largest independent wealth manager in Australia) and am a Responsible Manager of the Australian Financial Services License.  Before joining Koda, I was a Director of a boutique financial advice business where I gained relevant experience in strategic planning, budgeting, and governance.

I am actively involved in our community coaching AFL (Auskick and Juniors) at Wembley Downs Junior Football Club, where I am also a committee member.

I value education and growth and look forward to helping this community continue to be a leader amongst peers.

I am a parent of three boys who will attend FPPS, commencing in 2023, 2025 and 2027. Our family has had a positive experience at FPPS, and our children enjoy both the learning opportunities and strong community the school provides.

Professionally, I have worked across the not-for-profit and government sectors in rural and remote medical outreach programs and currently in State Government aged care programs. I also serve on the Board of a not-for-profit aged care provider and have recently completed the AICD Company Directors Course, further strengthening my governance expertise.

I am passionate about high-quality education and creating safe, inclusive environments where every child can thrive. I value strong governance with transparent communication and decision-making. I am committed to fairly representing parents and engaging with families on any concerns or ideas.

I have two daughters who are, or have been, students at Floreat Park Primary School. Our family moved to Perth five years ago from Melbourne, and we are delighted we made the move. We love living in Floreat, and being a part of the school community.

Professionally, I have spent most of my career running a business I started out of university (a long time ago!) to commercialise cutting edge research. I’ve worked in medical, industrial, counter terrorism, and my latest venture is all about water.

I joined the P&C and School Board because I was looking for something beyond business, and a way to be more engaged with the community. Having spent my career building technology startups, I value outcomes.

I’m an educator and parent who cares deeply about our school community and the wellbeing of every child. With over twenty years in primary teaching, I understand how schools work and what helps children feel safe, included, and ready to learn. I have two children at the school, currently in Pre Primary and Year 2, which keeps me closely connected to everyday family life. As a parent of a child with a disability, I bring lived experience in supporting students with additional needs. I’m passionate about inclusion and committed to helping our school continue to grow as a warm, supportive place for all families.
