Tēnā koutou katoa
Ko Tangi Te Keo te puke e rū nei taki ngākau
Ko Taupō-nui-a-Tia te moana e mahea nei aku māharahara
Ko Sam tōku ingoa
Ko Mike tōku tāne
Ko Ava rāua ko Elsie āku tamāhine
Ko Dominic tōku tama
No Tāmaki Makaurau ahau
Kei Te Whanganui-a-Tara tōku kainga
E mahi ako ana ahau i te kura o St Anthony’s
Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa
I am thrilled to be part of the St Anthony’s community again, teaching Years 7 and 8. As a kaiako, I am passionate about creating an environment where individual needs, interests and cultures are recognised, catered for and nurtured. I strive to guide and support all our tamariki to be happy and confident in themselves so they feel safe to learn and thrive. In my spare time, I enjoy being in the sun, walking, cooking, and spending time with my family (which often includes parks and bike rides) and friends.

Nāu te rourou, nāku te rourou, ka ora ai te iwi - with your food basket and my food basket the people will thrive (everybody has something to offer, and by working together we can all flourish).
