I have been driving since 1977 and working in the transport industry since 1985. My experience is expansive, including driving cars, riding motorbikes, skippering boats/yachts, owning and operating a limousine and coach company in Sydney, driving four-wheel drives, trucks and coaches of varying sizes. This provides learners with grounded, real-world knowledge and experience.
I have also contributed my time to the SES community, being a preferred driver for emergency response vehicles at Marrickville SES, where I was an active member. I currently hold a voluntary position with BCR Communities, volunteering my time to assist others.
I have lived experience working closely with Indigenous communities in Nowra and the Northern Territory, both urban and remote, reflecting a strong commitment to community-focused support.
As a mother of five and grandmother of fifteen, with over 30 years' experience as a qualified early childhood educator, I have specialised in trauma-informed and neurodivergent-friendly instruction. Hence, I understand the importance of patience, responsibility, and ensuring and empowering every driver to manage risks and return home safely.
Debstar Driver Training supports the commitment to reducing our impact on the environment by using environmentally friendly vehicles. Our aim is to reduce our carbon footprint by using the latest hybrid vehicles.
At Debstar Driver Training, safety is paramount. Learning to drive is not just about passing a test – it's about protecting lives and building responsible drivers for the community.
Whether your clients are new learners, returning to driving, or seeking a supportive and respectful environment, Debstar Driver Training is here to help. As such, I am keen to explore the possibility of working in partnership with your employment agency and supporting your clients on their journey to becoming safe, confident and independent drivers.
