College Leadership Team

I feel deeply honoured to be the Principal of Bunbury Catholic College and I am truly humbled and grateful for the opportunity to join and support our College community.

During 25 years of experience in Catholic education, I have worked in Sydney, London, Perth and in the picturesque South West of WA, joining Bunbury Catholic College in 2025 following my tenure as Principal at Kearnan College in Manjimup.

I was raised in a large Catholic family of six children in Forbes, NSW and now live in Busselton with my wife Michelle, our daughter Lucy, our son Harry and our very friendly dog named George.

I was very touched by the warm welcome I received from everyone at Bunbury Catholic College and look forward to continuing to build on half-a-century of excellence in education.

Pastoral care is an essential component of the way we provide a supportive learning environment here at the College, where students feel empowered to be the best they can be.

I have been privileged to experience raising three children, who have all graduated from high school, alongside my career in Catholic Education which has taken me across regional WA, from Albany to Broome.

As a teacher of VET Business, RE and Humanities, my perspective encourages positive interactions with students which focus on the whole child, and what each student can do.

With a rich background in Catholic Education spanning more than two decades, I began my journey as a Science Teacher in 2002, specialising in Biology, Human Biology, Psychology and Marine Science.

My passion for education and commitment to fostering academic excellence led me to leadership roles, including Head of Science at Mater Dei College and Servite College, as well as a Deputy Principal at St Mary’s College in Broome.

Serving as the Deputy Principal – Teaching and Learning means my primary focus is on the academic leadership of the College. In this role, I am entrusted with developing the College timetable and collaborating with Heads of Learning Areas to ensure the delivery of a contemporary education that prepares our students for a dynamic future.

I believe that fostering authentic relationships and providing comprehensive pastoral care are integral components of achieving academic success, and strive to create an environment where every individual can experience success in their educational journey.

I find it very satisfying to work with my colleagues to enable our students to become flourishing, life-long learners.
As Assistant Deputy Principal I coordinate staff professional learning, student exams and external assessments such as NAPLAN and OLNA. My role as teacher of Year 11 and 12 Economics enables me to participate in curriculum planning and development while also working with other member of the leadership team to ensure the wellbeing of the staff so that they can provide evidence-based pedagogical practices with confidence and energy.
I have previously held the roles of Dean of Professional Learning and Head of Learning — Humanities and am an ex-student of the College.

As the Drama Teacher in charge of this year’s production of ‘Mary Poppins’, I also accepted a new role at the College as the Assistant Deputy Principal of Pastoral Care.

The role centres around the pastoral care of students and staff at the College — something that informs all aspects of College life.

Since joining the staff in 2009, I have taught Drama in the Fourviere Performing Arts Centre and from 2020 to 2025 I was also a Head of Year at the College.

I am a Chartered Accountant and oversee the Administrative, Finance, Property, Cafeteria, Uniform Shop, Marketing and IT functions of the College.

I enjoy the variety and challenges each day brings, and being able to implement improvements. I have a strong sense of social justice and enjoy giving back to the community.

I am a mother to two boys James and Noah, as well as a pet mum to a beagle, two cats and two guinea pigs.
