EDUCATOR, SCHOOL LEADER, WRITER
I create tools and approaches for teachers and leaders that support calmer, more predictable classrooms, without more programs, hype, or extra emotional labour.
Experienced across primary, secondary, regional, and remote schools, I work at the intersection of practical classroom support and sustainable leadership practice. Resources and selected writing will be added here over time as I continue to teach and develop practical classroom tools.
ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
With more than three decades in education, I’ve worked as a classroom teacher, deputy principal, principal and consultant across diverse school contexts. I now focus on developing practical tools and approaches that support calmer, more predictable classrooms, grounded in real school experience and informed by theory. Some of my resource development and collaborative work sits within the Peaceful Schools Project.
My work is shaped by long-term involvement in inclusion, behaviour, leadership, and community-focused education, with a strong emphasis on clarity, consistency, and sustainability for both teachers and students.

EXPERIENCE
I’ve worked across a wide range of educational settings, including mainstream schools, education support, alternative programs, and nature-based learning environments.

This breadth allows me to work at the intersection of practical classroom support and sustainable leadership - always with an eye on what is workable in real schools.
