Kia ora kotou. Ko Jo tōku ingoa. I am a very proud mum of two fabulous young men, Hayden and Devon and am a very devoted aunty and great aunty to many extended whanāu. I live in Halswell with our two turtles Oscar and Turbo. I originated from mighty North Canterbury, where I spent my early years living on a farm and riding horses.I still spend much of my time there with whanāu. 

In my over 20 years of teaching have been very lucky to have spent many of those at Prebbleton with its wonderful tamariki, families, staff and community. I look forward to another year of meeting some more fabulous people and working alongside them on their school journey. 

My passion is engaging tamariki in learning, teaching them to believe in themselves and to reach for the stars!
