Summary
Kia ora,
I am a passionate, relationship based kaiako.
I view teaching as both a privilege and a responsibility; to serve our tamariki, whānau and extended communities and to identify and spark lifelong curiosity and engagement in learning for all.
I believe magic happens when personal and professional vision and philosophy align and I strive to teach with integrity, transparency and heart.
I am an organised, creative and trustworthy team member and a committed and motivated leader with a growth mindset. I seek and enjoy professional development opportunity and readily share knowledge and skills.
My professional and life experiences contribute to a unique perspective and understanding, and I believe I have a great transferable skill set to offer as an experienced teacher, mother, health professional and small business operator.
