Tēnā koutou e te whānau,

I graduated from the University of Auckland in 2008 with a Bachelor of Education and spent over 15 years in Early Childhood Education before beginning my primary teaching career at Peria in 2023.

My whānau have called Peria home since 1995 and I am deeply committed to this community and all it offers. I love the Far North and cannot imagine living anywhere else. Since enrolling our eldest in the new entrant class in 2016, I have been actively involved in our school community. Joining the teaching team here has been especially meaningful, as it allows me to give back to the place that has supported my own family.

In my personal time, you’ll find me with my friends and whanau, whether that be at home, in the garden, fishing, camping, at the beach, or exploring our beautiful region.
