After working overseas as an early childhood caregiver, Chanelle returned to Australia to pursue a career in teaching. Now a lecturer at North Regional TAFE, Chanelle delivers Certificate III and Diploma-level qualifications in early childhood education and care. She also plays a pivotal role in leading the RTO’s early childcare education and care team.
Taking excellence to a whole new level, Chanelle travels to the northernmost regions of Western Australia to deliver essential training to early childhood students. She is passionate about inclusion, and adapts training to meet the regional needs of learners, empowering them to pursue meaningful careers.
A case in point is her ongoing collaboration with the Ngunga Group Women’s Aboriginal Corporation in Derby. Having developed a culturally responsive, trauma-informed program for the corporation, there has been a significant increase in Aboriginal student participation in the area.
Thanks to Chanelle, bright futures are being shaped across the Kimberley.
