"Despite being a solo mother, I gathered the courage to study. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I have built some amazing friendships, expanded my knowledge about early childhood, and have achieved all my assessments."
"I worked in an early childhood centre and quickly realised how much joy it bought me. I completed the Bachelor in Teaching degree at Wintec. Enjoying my studies, I continued into the Postgraduate Certificate in Innovation, and I am now completing my Master's."
