In this episode of HER Peninsula, Sophie sits down with Michelle Crotty, the Manager of Art, Design and Environment at Chisholm Institute, a creative leader who has built a dynamic career centred around education, innovation, and nurturing local talent. Michelle takes us through her career journey, from her early creative influences to the path that led her into teaching, leadership, and shaping the next generation of designers, artists, and environmental thinkers. We explore the exciting work happening within the Art, Design and Environment departments at Chisholm, from student projects and exhibitions to industry collaborations and hands-on learning that prepares students for real-world opportunities. Michelle shares stories of students doing extraordinary things, the growth she sees in them, and why the Peninsula is such a powerful place to foster creativity. We also look ahead to what’s next for Chisholm: new programs, emerging creative fields, evolving industry needs, and how the institute continues to build opportunities for the local community. This conversation shines a light on a passionate educator and leader who is driving creativity, confidence, and innovation across the Mornington Peninsula.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
