Introducing Emily

Ko Emily tōku ingoa. I whānau au I Ahitereiria. Kei te noho au I Koraunui. 

 I am a qualified primary and secondary teacher with a masters in TESOL. 

 I lived and taught in Thailand, Timor Leste, the UK and Australia but am now settled in Wellington with my New Zealand husband and 3 children. 

 At Raphael House, I am the Special Educational Needs Coordinator, which means I work mostly with the teachers and parents of our neurodiverse students or children who have other needs. 

 I am constantly learning from these children and feel very lucky to be able to work in this area. 

 I work two days a week and spend three days at home with my wee boy.
