Sustainable and organic farm life was how I grew up. We ate meat, fruit and vegetables and even honey, all produced on the land. Mom made big breakfasts and lunches (we were back from school by 2 pm). We were encouraged to cook dinners at night and during holidays to give mom a break. My parents encouraged me to develop skills in different crafts.I showed an interest in sewing at the age of 10. Dad worked with a plan and asked mom to buy me lots of fabric and no clothes. Thus I was forced into making clothes for myself. Fortunately I loved it and got many compliments along the way for my creations. That led me to study a Bachelor of Home Economics, majoring in clothing and interior. As soon as I got married I started a bespoke fashion business. It worked well since I travelled extensively with my engineer husband and could always run my business, even working part-time between having kids. As a mature age student, I completed a Master of Teaching degree. I absolutely love my career and currently teach Home Economics at Brighton Secondary School. It is so rewarding because it is creative, practical and fluid.

I have always been passionate about Home Economics subjects, choosing Child Studies, Textiles, Nutrition and Food throughout my high schooling. My teaching journey began with a Bachelor of Education (Secondary Food & Textiles Technologies), and I have been fortunate to teach across Independent, Catholic and Department schools.
 
Alongside teaching, I am an active member of the Home Economics Institute of Australia (HEIA), and previously a Committee of Management member for the South Australian hub, delivering professional development workshops for educators across SA and NT.
 
My last six years have been with an incredible team at Brighton Secondary School. Teaching is so rewarding because Home Economics provides a space where creativity and fluidity are embraced, enabling students to develop lifelong skills through hands‑on, adaptable, and authentic learning experiences.
