Summary
I am an experienced teacher who has taught a variety of subjects in the Social Sciences. I am passionate about engaging young people with an awareness of the environment they live in and how to take social action to fight injustice.
In my free time you can find me in my garden, tramping on a great walk or training for iron Māori.
