After returning from overseas travel (a few years ago now), I pursued and successfully attained a Bachelor of Nursing Degree. Subsequently, I completed a Teaching Diploma and a Bachelor of Education Degree. Through my experiences in both nursing and teaching, it soon became evident that teaching was the career path I was going to follow.

Over the years, I have created a Teaching and Leadership toolbox that is continuously being expanded and refined. I recognise that learning is a lifelong journey regardless of experience.

I value being able to lead, support and collaborate with a dedicated team of teachers and support staff that we have here at Te Kura o Tauhinu - Lincoln Primary School. Together, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality learning programs that not only cater to our students' needs but also tap into their strengths, interests, and future aspirations.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, particularly my husband Troy and our three children: Jess, Ben, and Anna.

I remain committed to building and strengthening connections with both new and existing students and their whānau. Remember, our door is always open, and you are warmly welcomed to reach out at any time. Let's continue working together to create a supportive and nurturing learning environment where every student can thrive and succeed.
