Dina is Principal of The Alice Springs Steiner School, a position she has held since January 2018. She is an educator steeped in the Steiner tradition. Her parents were involved with Steiner Schools, and she attended one herself. All her teaching has been in Steiner Schools. This is fortunate as it can be difficult to find Steiner trained teachers to employ. Dina really does understand the Steiner tradition and philosophy.

Dina began teaching in her early twenties having studied a four-year teacher training qualification at Lorien Novalis School for Rudolf Steiner Education. She was a person who welcomed additional responsibilities. In December 2008 she received her Bachelor of Education from Southern Cross University.

November 2011 - December 2014 she was Director of Education at Mt Barker Waldorf School Adelaide. June 2015 - November 2017, she held the position of Pedagogical Administrator at the Brooklyn Waldorf School USA. From there she moved to the Forest House Waldorf School Hong Kong China, as the Teacher of class 3, a position she held for 2 years.

Dina furthered her education by studying a Master of Training and Development at the University of New England and then a Doctor of Education at Flinders University. Dina is a highly accomplished educator with broad and international experience complete with a wide variety of skills. Dina’s knowledge makes her a valued board member with AISNT.
