"One of the criticisms I've faced over the years is that I'm not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I'm empathetic, I'm weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate and strong." - Jacinda Ardern https://t.co/BX7MMWZgCK
Exactly 7 years since I left @NewcastleHigh today, and I will strive to provide the same level of education to my students as was provided to me. I couldn’t have asked for better. #GDST#wheregirlslearnwithoutlimits @GDST
I hope I can inspire people in the way that @shawnachor inspires me within my career. Allow people to access the best environment for them to thrive, and see their full potential. #Wellbeing#Potential
