Elly

Hi, I’m Elly and I have a Bachelor of Education in ECE and Primary. I started working at Possum Place in 2014 before moving to London to teach in a school for 18 months in 2017. Once returning to Australia I become the Assistant Director of Possum Place in 2019 before moving into the Director role in 2022.
I was inspired to get into ECEC because of my mum, Lisa. She has shown me the privilege of educating young children every day as well as incredible leadership and management skills. I am passionate about forming positive relationships with families as well as transitioning children to school and making sure they are socially and emotionally confident and ready to make their next step in life. Whilst working in this profession I have learnt that no two days are the same. The children bring so much happiness and energy to each moment and it is the little things that matter the most.
Outside of work I love keeping active, going on camping trips and spending time with my husband and Golden Retriever, Jade.
