Testimonials
The guidance and support provided to me by EvolveCDT has been outstanding. Linda is the best I have worked with and has remarkable creativity, provides innovative direction, is absolute in her attention to detail, and exceptionally knowledgeable in all areas of education and training. Linda supported me to extend myself and confront the challenges in my writing projects and enabled me to achieve my very best.
The commitment of the team at EvolveCDT allowed my focus to be where it needed to be, knowing that the many other required elements were being drawn up and drawn together by a unique group of highly skilled personnel. Linda was mentor, director and editor all in one and reminded me daily that I could get this work done!
I look forward to the next opportunity to work with EvolveCDT, to develop my skills yet further in an environment that supports growth and celebrates individual achievement within an exceptional and highly skilled team.

Linda's creativity, innovative thinking and attention to detail was an asset to the project team.
Linda and the EvolveCDT team worked collaboratively with our team, organising regular touch points over the course of the project to share feedback, insights and ideas. Our team were able to pilot activities with children and young people in the community and share this knowledge with Linda's team to refine the project framework.
Linda's passion for community impact and meaningful engagement filters through all aspects of the work Evolve CDT creates.
We are very grateful for Linda's expertise and support.

WORKING DIRECTOR
Master of Education
Bachelor of Education
Diploma of Business (Frontline Management)
Certificate IV in Assessment and Workplace Training
Linda is a versatile and innovative educator with a real passion for teaching and learning. Having worked in the state government system for 10 years, she was one of the first classroom teachers in Western Australia to be awarded Level 3 Classroom status. Teaching in Aboriginal communities and low socio-economic environments encouraged her to pursue her interest in understanding the importance of linking curriculum, pedagogy and assessment to student needs and abilities.
Successfully transitioning from classroom teacher to Managing Director of her own curriculum development and training organisation in 2001, she has worked with higher education, VET and school-based sectors, and government, non-government and commercial sectors, conceptualising and authoring teaching and learning programs and facilitating engaging and practical professional learning experiences for state and national projects from conception through to publishing.
