I am originally from Rotorua but have lived in South Auckland for over 20 years where I began my teaching career. This is my fourth year at Pōkeno School, and my first leading the Kea Whānau. I have taught all levels over my career, however my passion is teaching Year 4-6 learners. I have been a Whānau Leader for many years before arriving at Pōkeno School and look forward to leading an awesome team of kaiako (teachers) and ākonga (learners).
