Caroline is originally from Dublin, Ireland and has been with Perth Montessori since 2001. She grew up in Dublin until she was 21 and then spent three years backpacking throughout South East Asia, South and East Africa, Mexico, Florida, and the Channel Islands. During this time, Caroline worked in retail and hospitality.
After high school, Caroline had the opportunity to work for a year in a Montessori school, which is what ignited her passion for all things Montessori. Caroline is inspired most by watching her students learn and grow and develop intrinsic motivation and a love of learning. She loves getting to know both students and families and being able to respect and cater for individual learning styles/needs.
Caroline has a teenage son and a six-year-old daughter so, when not teaching, she is usually chasing around after them! She can also be found at the local surf club or assisting at her local football club in winter.
Her favourite saying is; “One foot in front of the other and one step at a time and, if it’s not working, change it.”
