I look on my days at Macquarie University with great fondness. I too was an external student. I travelled down from Forster every holidays for my on campus session, which were always amazing. I chose Macquarie because of the chance to be on campus to meet my teachers. I was a mature age student and started Bach Education Early Childhood (0-12 years) when my youngest was 4.

I graduated when he was 12 and in Year 6. It was a great achievement as I am the only university graduate in my family.

I have been teaching since graduating in 2016. I love being a teacher and inspiring others every day. If I can give back to my university in this manner I would do so with great pride. Attending Macquarie University changed my life and the lives of my young family, who grew up with a strong respect for education.
