Additional Information

I am a confident leader. I accept responsibility and bring good energy to my coworkers. People have faith in me. I am reliable and honest and thrive in the learning environment. I have been a manager for twenty years, delivering high-quality education and care.

As leaders, we play a crucial role in ensuring whānau and tamariki receive the best start to early learning.

I am ready for a change now that my children are independent, and knowing that I will leave my legacy behind in good hands gives me the comfort to seek new opportunities for my learning and leadership.
