Kia ora koutou and welcome to our class site!

I'm thrilled to have you in my class this year as we explore Health, Physical Education, and Sports Academy together at Bay of Islands College.

A little about me:
I’m in my fifth year of teaching and am passionate about helping students achieve their goals both in the classroom and on the field. I grew up in Northland, attending Ohaeawai Primary and Okaihau College, before pursuing my bachelor’s degree at AUT and completing my postgraduate studies at Waikato University.

Sports have always been a big part of my life. I played hockey for 20 years and recently transitioned to volleyball, which has been an exciting new challenge. For the last 2 years, I have been proud to represent the Northland Kauri Women’s A team as a Middle Blocker.  In 2024 we competed at Club Nationals and made it into Division 1 for the first time in years—a moment I’ll never forget! Last year we played in Division 2 and just missed out on a medal - coming 4th.

I have also taken up Beach Volleyball and am coaching the school teams as well as the Northland boys U17 and U19 squads.

Outside of school and sport, I enjoy going to the gym, reading, and spending time with my dog, Sadie. 

I’m looking forward to an amazing year of learning, growth, and teamwork. Let’s make this year one to remember!
