I'm fundraising for...
As a proud mother of three young adults, their safety and opportunity to flourish in this world has always been, and will continue to be, my first priority. However, 1 in 5 children do not have this opportunity, nor do they feel they have a voice or feel safe. I believe that WE are the voice of these children and to become part of the Braveheart 777 National Team, taking up this challenge demonstrates my commitment to make a difference, raise awareness and to protect our children from harm.
I am an extremely motivated and passionate person who believes that you can do anything you set your mind to, as life is too short to hold regrets. I continuously strive to be a positive role model for all and educate our children. Successfully completing my Masters in Education at Melbourne University and Graduate Certificate in Principalship at Monash University, I am currently an Assistant Principal focusing on Student Wellbeing and Inclusion. I am also a facilitator of the Resilience, Rights & Respectful Relationships Curriculum in schools for our district. This program promotes and models respect, positive attitudes and behaviours. It teaches our children how to build healthy relationships, resilience and confidence. As a teacher, I understand that it is vital that we teach our children how to socially and emotionally succeed in a world of complex challenges. They need to know that they have a voice and that we are here to provide assurance that they are not alone. Braveheart’s give our children this protection. Our Children are Our Future!
Today, I am an accredited running coach, personal trainer and CrossFit Coach, where I love using my knowledge to help both our children and adults. I also have many 1/2 marathons and marathons to my name. Running for me is not about winning the race, it’s about personal achievement, friendships, role modelling and helping others achieve their own personal goals. This love and importance I place into wellbeing, fitness and running has also been instilled within my own family. Combining both my passion to run marathons and the opportunity to be a voice of our children with the Braveheart’s foundation, will be both challenging and rewarding. I believe that we have the ability to join together and make a difference. It’s all about the kids!!!
