Christine on the award nomination:

“Honored, Humbled, and Deeply Grateful

Today, I want to take a moment to reflect on being named a FINALIST for the Women Changing The World Awards in Children’s Education 2025. This is not just a recognition—it’s a reminder of the journey that has brought me here.

Education has never been just a profession for me; it’s been my purpose. From creating a safe and inspiring space for learners at C3 Education Group to C3 Childcare Group and now Speakworthy everything I do is rooted in one belief: when we give someone the tools to find their voice, we change the trajectory of their future.

My own journey started as a refugee—arriving in a new world, learning a new language, and navigating a life that could have easily silenced me. But education gave me a voice. And that’s why I’ve dedicated my life to ensuring others never feel unheard, whether children just beginning to explore, students striving for confidence, or professionals ready to own their stage.

This recognition isn’t just mine. It belongs to every educator who believed in their students, every parent who fought for their child’s future, and every learner who dared to dream bigger. This is for the changemakers in education—the ones who understand that learning is more than academics; it’s about shaping identities, breaking cycles, and empowering voices.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. The work continues. The mission never stops. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
