CARMEL - Key Persons
I'm excited to be standing for the Carmel School Board. My daughters are past and present students, and I would love the opportunity to provide this service to our school community.
More so than ever before our daughters require a caring and inclusive school environment, underpinned by Catholic values, as they navigate these critical years through an ever-changing world. At the same time, I believe Carmel must also be ready to change, to be adaptable, and visionary in its thinking, so that every student can reach her full potential.
I am now completing my term as staff trustee on the BOT and would like to continue for another term. Not only have I really enjoyed coming to understand the broader functions and concerns that make up the overarching picture of our school, but I believe that my best contribution to Carmel will come with the continuity and experience that I can provide during a time of change of Board members and with a new Principal.
I have taught at Carmel for over 17 years and am very familiar with the workings of the school and the culture of both the staff and students. I have also been a Carmel parent and so have seen the school from a different perspective. This knowledge of Carmel from these two perspectives has supported me in the role.

I am an ‘old girl' who is extremely thankful for my secondary education at Carmel College and the leadership opportunities I enjoyed in my time as a student, who now has the privilege of being entrusted to lead the school community of Carmel College. I know that I flourished in a school where core Mercy values are central to everyday life of the college, and for me these values undeniably shaped and empowered me to become the person I am today.
Since leaving Carmel College and beginning my teaching career I have been extremely fortunate to have taught in a number of different school communities, where I have been able to develop as an educational leader.
Outside of Carmel I am a mother to three beautiful children and am supported in my role as a mother and educator by my wider family who also value what our Carmel College community is for so many young women. Our vision is for our young woman to be empowered through their Catholic education in the Mercy tradition to act justly, love tenderly and walk humbly with our God while pursuing their personal excellence and with the confidence to challenge and shape the future.
