Meet Our Board

Tauhara Primary —


Ko Tongariro te maunga

Ko Taupō-nui-a-tia te moana

Ko Te Heuheu te rangatira

Ko Ngāti Hinemihi te hapū

Ko Kauriki te Marae

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.
