Katrina
Albert Street Director
Katrina is one of the regulars in the BlueBird family (six years and counting), and she couldn’t be happier. It’s a far cry from her childhood dream to become a butcher like her dad! Out of work, you can find Katrina tinkering on the piano. As a naturally kind person, she wants to help children thrive, and goes out of her way to help at-risk kids.

Teaghan’s commitment to her work has become a significant part of her life, and she pours her heart and soul into her role as Director! Teaghan’s dedication to BlueBird leaves little room for hobbies, but she wouldn’t have it any other way!
