I am an example of adult education, returning to education when my youngest child was five. I returned to a Secondary School, then onto Massey University and then trained as a Teacher.
My experience is in teaching in preschool, primary and secondary. I have taught a range of subjects but have always enjoyed teaching English and literacy.
I have experience in assisting people gain employment skills and gain confidence and realise what they have is valuable.
In recent years I have taught adults and young people to assist them with literacy and numeracy.
I am a mother of three adult children and have nine grandchildren. I am a family person enjoying the relationships I have with my children and grandchildren.
I enjoy living in Rotorua and appreciate what the area has to offer, it is a beautiful place to live and work.
