Experienced and passionate educator with over 10 years of teaching across all year levels. I embrace challenges and thrive in collaborative environments, working to inspire a love of learning in every student. Committed to creating a learning centered environment where each child's background, strengths, interests, abilities, and learning styles are recognised and supported. I build strong, positive relationships with students, whānau, and staff, and see myself as a mentor who learns and grows alongside my students. I set high expectations and design engaging, inclusive learning experiences that empower children to explore, take risks, and feel safe and supported in their learning journey.
