Career / life highlights
- Returning to Mater Dei College as a teacher after being a student here has been one of the greatest highlights of my career. It has been rewarding to experience the College from a different perspective and give back to the community that shaped me.
- Completing my final university practicum in Kalgoorlie was another memorable milestone. It has come full circle, as my mentor teacher during that placement, Torren Diletti, is now my colleague at Mater Dei College.
- Marrying my childhood sweetheart, Rafael Mamales, is undoubtedly one of the greatest highlights of my life. We are both proud Mater Dei College alumni and first met while we were students. It made our wedding even more special knowing that five of the six members of my bridal party were also former Mater Dei College students.
