I recently watched a TED Talk, where I discovered the term Multipotentialite.  It describes people like me, who possess broad interests and skills, are quick learners, adaptable and empathise with a broad set of people and cultures.  And that’s what I would bring to the position… an enthusiasm for the various topics that are brought before the council, the ability to contribute in many ways and to consider the spectrum of needs and wants of our school community.

Pom by birth, but now I like my beer cold.  A product marketer with a sports and retail background.  As parent of Benji who joined Prep this year and a 10+ year Richmond resident, like you, I want Yarra Primary to maximise its teaching and guidance potential, in order to benefit our children and our local community.  So, providing the best environment and resources to facilitate this process… this is my goal.

I’m mum of Ethan in grade 5 and Zane who finished at Yarra last year and is now at Richmond High. I’ve worked as an accountant for over 20 years across various industries including financial services, hospitality and electrical services. I am currently CFO of a not-for-profit organisation who provide housing support and aged care services for elderly people who have been homeless. My current role is broad and encompasses finance, governance and compliance responsibilities. I enjoy being part of the school community and I was a parent member on the School Council Finance committee prior to joining School Council. I would love to hear from any parents who would like to join the Finance committee as a parent member. I believe that contributing to the school through being a member of school council benefits both the school and myself as I feel being part of school council enhances my understanding of my children’s school journey.
