Michelle was born in Malaysia and grew up in Perth. Before joining Perth Montessori, Michelle worked with children in various roles including being an Early Childhood Assistant Educator, KG teacher, and an eco-school Coordinator in London. Michelle has been at Perth Montessori since 2020.
The most inspiring part of her role is seeing the curiosity, joy and light in the children’s eyes when they learn something new, every day. What she most loves about the Montessori way is the fact that it resonates the most with her values and ideas about teaching in the 21st century, particularly when it comes to fostering independence in the child through active participation in a supportive environment.
When not working, Michelle enjoys dancing. She had an amazing opportunity to take part in a musical theatre course while living in London. Other passions include yoga, singing, crafting and exploring new places.
The best advice she’s ever been given is; “Stay true to yourself and follow your heart.”Close
