Summary

I am a creative and dedicated Early Childhood Educator with a passion for supporting tamariki to feel happy, safe and free to explore their world. I have extensive knowledge of excellent teaching practise and really enjoy finding a genuine connection with tamariki. For me, ngā tamariki are always placed at the centre of his or her learning journey and I consider that I am also a life long learner. I am compassionate and kind and always take time for tamariki, whanau and colleagues. I believe Te Reo Maori is a unique and important part of the New Zealand learning environment and I seek opportunities to further my knowledge of Tikanga Māori. I believe my greatest strengths are kindness and being a good listener. I love using nature to inspire ngā tamariki.
