BED, Dip Teaching

I felt the call to become a teacher at the age of 17. Over the years I enjoyed teaching in a range of state schools at various levels. Most recently I was a classroom teacher at Matakana School for 16 years.

Having recently retired, I joined the staff at Horizon on a part time basis in Reading Recovery. I am thrilled to be doing this as I strongly believe early reading intervention for those who are struggling is essential to get them back on track and to assist and empower them in their future learning journey.

I really enjoy biking, with my husband David, gardening, tramping, swimming, and spending time at the beach. We also enjoy spending time with our family whenever we can.
