Kia ora!
I gre up in Plimmerton and now live just up the coast in Pukerua Bay with my husband Bernard, and our children Alexander and Sebastian, who are 15 and Avery who is 9.
I'm excited to be moving up into the Kauri team this year after spending most of my teaching life in the juniors.
Year 5/6 Teacher 3/4 days per week
Postgraduate Diploma of Teaching (Primary), Victoria University. Bachelor of Laws (Hons), Leeds University (UK).
I’m delighted to be continuing to teach in the Kauri Syndicate this year. I will be working every Wednesday in Rūma Kākāpō and will also be working across the Kauri syndicate to provide release days to the year 5/6 teachers. I have worked at Te Kura o Paremata since 2017. I feel incredibly lucky to be teaching in a kura with such a wonderful positive culture, amazing students and super talented, fun and collaborative staff.
I live in Raumati Beach with my husband, Leon, and my sons, Finley and Oscar, who are 15 and 17. We enjoy sports and the outdoors and especially walking our Rhodesian Ridgeback dog, Scout, on the beach.
