Away from the beach I’m behind my desk (I work in Intellectual Property), Uniform-merch practicing yoga or swimming coordinator, Jacqueline laps at the SSC. And I love to travel. We can’t wait to check Carmont out the surf in Indonesia, “I’m originally from Cronulla, south the Maldives and the of Sydney. I’m mum to Sam, 5, and Philippines step-mum to Ollie, 15, and Charlie, 19. We joined Nippers in 2023 and my role is to manage uniforms, a role my operations background seemed to fit! I got involved with Nippers because I believe it teaches our kids amazing life skills. Being surrounded by water on Sentosa and back in Oz, it’s crucial to have water and safety awareness. I love watching my son learn new skills and make new friends with a big smile on his face. It’s important that our children can have similar experiences on Sentosa that I did when growing up in Australia.”
Roll up your sleeves and volunteer!
“I’m originally from Orange County, California, and I’m mum to Henrick, in the under 6s. I also have an older daughter, Cali, who is in high school, and a six-week old baby, Christian. When we moved to Singapore from New York two years ago, my Australian husband was excited Away from the beach to see Nippers practicing on the beach. I’m hiking, running kids Now our son is old enough, we’re to and from activities, thrilled to be a part of it. I offered to or volunteering. I look volunteer at ANZA because I wanted forward to helping to to be able to share in something plan some fun Nippers social events! that brings nostalgic memories to my husband and creates memories for my children. I love the sense of community, supporting the children and creating a culture of respect for the ocean and the environment.”
