Kia ora koutou. I teach mainly English and Social Sciences in the Upper School and am also one of the Class 11 Kaiarataki teachers this year. Before moving to New Zealand 5 years ago, I had been an intermediate English teacher for 17 years in a mainstream school. I'm so grateful that my family has found such a supportive and warm community here at Raphael House.

In my spare time, I enjoy crafting, reading, watching movies, batch cooking, hosting and attending themed parties, and bush walks. I experience great joy when I happen upon majestic-looking trees while exploring, find nothing funnier than listening to really bad singing, and feel at peace with the world when holding babies.
