Other Experience

Parental leave/Motherhood-

Parenting is an incredible experience that has and is continuing to challenge me. I have developed skills in time management, organisation and making decisions on the fly! I have learnt more about communication, modelling healthy relationship skills and being responsive as well as patience.



Youth Leader-

As a youth leader at Elim Church from age 19-22, although not religious, I thoroughly enjoyed being a positive role model for the youth girls I mentored along side the pastors at Elim church. This involved volunteering my time on a Friday night to guide the east Auckland teenagers on a path that would best suit them during their challenging years. This taught me my communication skills, leadership skills and also helped me to understand the generation below me and the different experiences they face.



Placement-

During my time studying a Diploma in ECE, I completed my years placement at Maraetai Beachlands Kindergarten. Working with tamariki (children) from all different backgrounds, was very valuable work experience. It aided in my cultural understanding and cultural sensitivity, this was overall a big take away for me during my time studying in education in the New Zealand Curriculum.
