For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a teacher. As a kid, I’d spend hours playing “schools”, taking the roll, writing timetables, even making pretend parent phone calls at lunchtime. I dreamed of becoming my own version of Miss Honey from Matilda: kind, patient, and helping every child feel capable.

That dream turned into more than a decade in classrooms across Queensland, teaching both mainstream and special education. Along the way, I saw just how tough it can be to meet the needs of diverse learners, especially when time and resources are stretched thin. I know the feeling of working late into the night, modifying lessons for students who are years behind, and still wondering if I was doing enough.

It’s those experiences (the hard days as much as the good ones) that led me to create The Educator’s Burrow. A place where teachers can find practical, inclusive maths resources that actually work, without spending hours reinventing the wheel. My goal is simple: to help you feel confident and supported, and to make sure every student has the chance to thrive.
