What is your full name?
I am called Jennifer, Jenny, Jen or Mum - take your pick and I am 49.
Which centre do you work in? How many staff and children are in the centre?
As a children's services advisor with Oac, I have the pleasure and privilege of working with not just one, but nine of our campuses in Sydney's north and northern beaches, along with their inspiring Directors, educators and of course children.
What is your professional background and career experience?
A late bloomer career wise, I was 26 and a mature age student when I commenced my Bachelor of Early Childhood Education at Macquarie University in Sydney, having spent my early twenties working and travelling with Qantas. Despite the late start, once I began I knew that this was where my passion would lie.
Not long after graduating, I threw myself into the deep end by opening my own 38-place long day care centre in Surry Hills. The learning curve was steep, the hours were long and I was running on adrenaline for the first few years but I wouldn't have done it any differently.
