I was born and raised in Auckland, spending most of the holidays in either Snells Beach or Omaha. I've previously been a paediatric nurse, working mostly at Starship Hospital, until my husband and I decided to move to beautiful Snells Beach with our 3 children.

I'm part of the amazing admin team at Horizon. I have always loved working with children and have been involved with my own kids' school in various roles in the past. I love working with a group of passionate people who are genuinely interested in the wellbeing of our students and upholding the school's Christian special character.

Outside of school I enjoy spending quality time with my family, watching the kids' sports and activities, exploring nature and making memories together.

I worked in the fashion and design industry in New Zealand until moving to the UAE where I lived for almost 9 years. My children were born in Abu Dhabi and my eldest started his schooling there. We moved back in 2019 to be closer to whānau and have our children experience life here.

I am the one snapping photos, putting together newsletters and doing a little bit of everything in the school office. I love the connection to the Tamariki, whānau and community that this job has given me.

Our family love to travel and explore different cultures. Spending time with our wider family is a very intentional goal for our family. I also enjoy sewing, weaving, building Lego and decorating cakes.

I grew up in Germany. My family lived in Russia as well so I speak both German and Russian. The city I’m from is one of the oldest in Germany with beautiful cathedrals and cobblestones. I am married and have 4 beautiful children.

I am an office administrator which makes me the person who takes your phone calls, replies to your emails, does the daily student attendance and many other little things on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

I love reading and spending my days at the beach or boat with my family. I also enjoy running or going on hikes. New Zealand is absolutely stunning and there is so much to see.
