HOSPITALITY/HPE/HOME ECONOMICS

Hospitality, Home Economics, Child Studies, Health Education, Early Childhood, Health Education, Cert III Event Management

​

One of my main career objectives as an educator is to empower my future students to not only develop to their fullest potential, but to become active, healthy individuals. This includes being knowledgeable in both a physical and emotional level. With our busy lifestyle, young adolescents are missing out on the basic life skills that were once a necessity of a family.

 

Being the eldest of seven children and a mother of two young boys, one would understand why both Home Economics and Child Studies come as second nature to me. This coupled with experience in the school setting; I have the ability to educate my students on the physical, mental, spiritual and social health.
