As the Learning Specialist at Auburn South Primary School, I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of such a welcoming and vibrant school community. Working closely with our teachers and leadership team gives me the opportunity to connect with students, families and staff across the school, which is one of the things I enjoy most about my role. Outside of school, I love spending time with my family, relaxing at the beach and taking our Golden Retriever, Lulu, for long walks. I'm also looking forward to celebrating a special milestone this year as my daughter finishes Year 12.
