General Information
I am excited to begin my teaching journey at Pokeno School in Harakeke 1.
I am committed to teaching our ākonga and creating a learning environment where every student feels supported, valued, and able to thrive. Building strong relationships is important to me and encouraging students to take ownership of their learning.
I am originally from the UK and have been in New Zealand for 15 years, my partner and I live on a lifestyle block and have twin boys who are now 11 years old. Outside of school, I am involved with Te Kauwhata Junior Rugby club and watch my boys play each weekend. I enjoy being creative and sewing.
