I have been a teacher for 30 some years in a variety of teaching settings. I have worked in South Auckland and now West Auckland. I like to have a laugh, enjoy a good joke and love my job. Watching children grow and succeed is one of the highlights of my job.

The best part of teaching is being a lifelong learner, establishing honest and open relationships and making positive changes in the lives of young people; enabling them to confront challenges, take responsible risks and make informed choices and decisions.
