No Taupō ahau
Ko Karla tōku ingoa
I am a proud local and have been a part of the Taupō community for the majority of my life. My husband and I have 2 beautiful children, 1 of whom attends Tauhara Primary and the other soon to follow. I work in the Health sector as well as the education environment. I am passionate about ensuring equitable opportunities for all Tamariki across our rohe.
Kia ora e te Whānau
Ko Gemma toku ingoa
ko James taku tane
Ko Psalms raua ko Ezekiel taku tamariki
Our whanau have been a part of Tauhara Primary for over 8 years either through a volunteer capacity supporting Tauhara and with our two children attending the school. My background is in Finance and Compliance which I worked in the Investment Advisory industry for 12 years. I believe these skills will be transferrable and support the Board of Trustees for Tauhara. I am constantly being developed in my role as a Leader of a non-profit organisation that is committed to seeing people being developed and encouraged to grow and be a positive contributor to our community. Whanau/Family is important to me and supporting our children's school to continue to be a place where they learn and develop is a high priority for our whanau. Family time and being outdoors is what I love do to in my spare time.
