About Us . . .
Bloom Training & Consulting was created from a genuine passion for supporting and uplifting early childhood professionals at every stage of their journey.
I am​ experienced Early Childhood Teacher with over 12 years’ hands-on experience across the sector. My career has spanned working directly on the floor with children, designing and implementing high-quality educational programs, creating engaging learning environments, and supporting children through key developmental milestones.
​
I have extensive experience developing and implementing individualised and inclusive programs, ensuring all children feel safe, supported, and able to thrive. Beyond the classroom, I have worked in leadership roles including Educational Leader, Nominated Supervisor, Approved Provider, and Early Childhood Teacher, giving me a deep, practical understanding of both pedagogy and compliance.
​
I have supported teams through multiple Assessment and Rating cycles, developed and reviewed Quality Improvement Plans, mentored educators in reflective practice, and guided services to embed child-safe, high-quality learning environments. Most recently, I completed my Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, allowing me to deliver meaningful, practical, and engaging professional learning.
​
At the heart of Bloom is my strong commitment to mentoring, training, and empowering educators—helping them feel confident, capable, and supported in their roles.
