About Me

Hello and welcome

I am a creative educator and workshop facilitator passionate about using art as a tool for connection, expression, and positive change.

With a strong focus on community and nature-inspired creativity, I design and lead workshops that encourage inclusion, exploration, collaboration, and confidence through the visual arts. Currently studying a Master of Teaching (Visual Arts Major), I’m deepening my skills to inspire and empower learners of all ages.

Over the past several years, I’ve had the privilege of working across a diverse range of creative arts initiatives in regional Queensland—fostering creativity in rural and remote areas and deeply connecting with local communities.

My experience spans school programmes, community activations, and inclusive workshops for children, adults, and families. Now based in Sydney, my place of birth, as I complete my degree and homeschool my son, I continue to lead workshops and creative programs from my studio in Caringbah, Southern Sydney.

In 2024, I was honoured to be a finalist in the Australian Wearable Art Festival, with my piece Wayfinder showcased on the Sunshine Coast runway – a proud milestone in my creative journey.

I was also awarded a Regional Arts Development Grant (RADF) by the South Burnett Regional Council to deliver Connection through Creativity & Colour, a programme exploring creativity’s role in connection, healing, and self-expression.

Having lived and worked in regional Queensland for over seven years, I’ve seen first-hand how the arts can transform lives – improving mental health, strengthening communities, and empowering individuals. I’ve collaborated with organisations such as CTC South Burnett, delivering craft workshops for children, and facilitated sensory and interactive experiences at events like the Wondai Garden Expo.

I’m especially proud of my work with Indigenous communities—partnering with Cherbourg’s Youth Advisory Group (YAG) to teach floristry, candle making, and soap making. This initiative led to the creation of Australia’s first community-run florist. I also supported disengaged youth at Silverlining School, where weekly craft workshops built connection, sparked creativity, and culminated in a powerful community exhibition.

With a deep love for the arts and years of experience in event coordination, and creative facilitation, I remain committed to making the arts accessible, inclusive, and impactful for all.
