About Me: I am the proud mother of 3 beautiful children, Megan 29, Brooke 25, and Jack 19. Michael and I have recently become grandparents sharing our love with baby Charlie born Dec. 2022. Proud Mum moment – while I am super proud of all my children, Jack began a PGA Traineeship with Keperra Country Golf Club Jan 2024.

Bachelor of Science in Commerce
(Accounting – Philippines)
About Me: I am a mother of one adorable child (Amy). I’ve been in Australia over 25 years ago. Originally, I came from the Philippines, aside from taking care of my beautiful family. Also, I love exploring, travelling, fishing, gardening, and cooking.
About Teaching: I find working with young children so rewarding as I get to work with my favourite people. Watching them develop and learn new skills and new ideas is such a great feeling. It is fulfilling to give support and guidance to children as they are developing their independence. I know that I have some type of influence in preparing them to start school and then I can witness the milestones in the children’s learning journey.

About Me: I grew up training and performing in a traveling circus and have a strong passion for entertaining, sharing and making people smile. I am incredibly curious, have a keen interest in the world around me and the people in it.
About Teaching: I find working with young children rewarding and a wonderful experience as I get to play games, read stories and guide them to make the best decisions for themselves. I have been involved in running workshops at rural primary schools across the country, during my travelling circus years, where I worked closely with children and encouraged them to dream big. Absolutely anything is possible, and I hope to share that message with these incredible young individuals.
