Kia ora koutou!
I started working at Ōtaki School in 2023 teaching Waikawa, a year 2-3 class, then I moved to the kura tuākana where I am now.
Before that I completed Poutuarongo Reo at Te Wānanga o Raukawa and worked in different schools mostly teaching year 3-6, as well as at the Ministry of Education.
