Susan's journey in the education field began with her academic foundation, having earned a Graduate Diploma of Adult and Vocational Education from Charles Sturt University and a Bachelor of Education and Training from Melbourne University. Her commitment to adult education has been a driving force throughout her career.
Before joining Ella Baché College, Susan held the position of Learning and Development Manager at Endota Wellness College, where she played a pivotal role in the strategic direction and compliant operations of the organisation. Her efforts led to the creation and implementation of key learning strategies that significantly increased learner engagement and retention. Additionally, she developed a highly effective induction program for trainers, ensuring that all educational staff met organisational objectives and compliance requirements.
Susan’s extensive experience also includes working at Pinnacle Safety and Training, where she delivered and assessed the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. This role deepened her understanding of VET compliance legislation and the design of blended learning programs, which are crucial in today’s education landscape.
Her previous roles have equipped her with the skills to lead teams effectively and foster a nurturing learning environment. At the Australasian College, she excelled in overseeing the delivery of beauty therapy diplomas, ensuring that programs were implemented professionally and in compliance with all regulations.
