Kia ora koutou. I have been leading the Pōhutukawa/ Year 1-2 teaching team for six years and previously led the Kōwhai/Year 3-4 team for several years.I teach in Rūma Korimako/ Room 4 and also lead Literacy at Paremata School. I thoroughly enjoy the challenges and rewards experienced each day in each of these roles. I am passionate about educating tamariki and helping them have really positive learning experiences in our kura. He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata! He tangata! He tangata!

I have over 10 years teaching experience across Wellington. I have been teaching part time for a few of those years now, which allows me to spend time with my two gorgeous children.
My interests are obviously in Health and Physical Education, and I also love Maths and exploring the Sciences.
I am excited this year to be leading mathematics within the school and the fun and challenges that this will entail. I love working in the Pōhutukawa team.
