Kia ora! I joined the NPS whaanau back in 2018, and it is a real privilege to be part of this community.

Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to teach in both Puaawai and Puanga, and I’m now the very proud Hub Leader of the Puanga team.

I have a huge heart for our neurodiverse learners. I am loving spending time with our taonga in the Takiwaatanga Hub, helping them shine in their own unique way.

I also work closely with our staff and support team - including our SWiS, counsellor, mentors, and RTLB to make sure our kids feel happy, safe, and supported at school. My door is always open if you’d like to have a koorero about how we can best support your child!
