About The Author


I am married to Kris, a Kiwi (slang for New Zealander!) We lived in Auckland, New Zealand for the first six years of our marriage and have resided in Sydney, Australia ever since.


We have Caleb who loves Soccer, Guitars and Ford cars, Emily who plays Basketball, Ballet and Band (clarinet) and Samuel who enjoys Soccer, Tennis and Keyboard.

I have a Bachelor of Education, from Sydney University, in Mathematics and History.

I am currently teaching high school maths.


I enjoy Reading, Tennis, Basketball, Patchwork and Cross-Stitch.


My passion is helping mums enjoy their toddlers.


I have answered hundreds of toddler questions (now only through email) for over a decade from mums in Australia and overseas. I have had the privilege of speaking to groups all over Australia in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Wollongong, Gold Coast, Canberra and Perth. I trust that you will find the principles in Terrific Toddlers practical and positive, and that you will be able to adapt them to best suit your precious little ones.
