Master of Education, Diploma of Teaching (Secondary), Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Arts

I started teaching at Mount Roskill Grammar School in 1999. In 2005 I moved to Tanzania to train teachers at Joshua Teachers Training College, returning to New Zealand for good in December 2019. In that time I completed my Masters of Education, became the Principal of the teachers college, got married, had three kids, home-schooled and mentored a Tanzanian teacher into my Principal’s position.

One of the things I really enjoy about teaching is helping students who believe “I can’t” realise that they really can.

The integrated curriculum at Horizon School allows us to see our world in a way that is real and relevant; encouraging meaningful engagement and participation. It is a great pleasure to be able to teach with a holistic approach to students needs and interests in this way.
