Our family joined the Greythorn Early Childhood Centre (GECC) since January 2019 after being on waiting list for almost two years! Our son Ryan is now attending pre-kinder room and he loves being there and having wonderful time with all his friends and educators. Watching Ryan growing up and his achievements in the centre throughout the year is one of the most amazing and terrifying experiences for my husband Ali and myself!

I joined the of GECC Committee of Management in 2020 and this provided me a unique opportunity to contribute positively to our community and met other families. I’m delighted and really enjoy being part of this committee in which all members bring a range of skills, knowledge and experience to decision making.

My husband Ali and myself are colleagues and both work in an engineering firm in Melbourne. I work as Business Development & Urban Design Manager with over 16 years extensive experience in a wide range of Land Development projects in Australia and overseas. I’m passionate about promoting and supporting the success of women in leadership through developing their skills and increasing their access to opportunities for advancement.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, playing piano, watching movies and travelling!
