I live in Hawke’s Bay but am a frequent traveller across the country for my professional work.  I am a registered teacher (to Oct 2020), have worked as a national Senior Advisor (Technology) for MoE, and as a Project Leader for the Incredible Years Teacher Workforce Development Project, for which I am also a trained IYT group leader.

I am a learner; I make significant use of current research and has a strong network of highly informed movers and shakers in her fields of expertise. My work will always be future-focused, strengths-based and learner-centred. I  won’t be rolling out the same ‘programme’ year after year. I am well known for my work in developing and supporting Senco networks and for building collaborative, inquiry-based clusters.  I am highly competent in online support having done my MEd research in blended learning so I can support you virtually as well as face to face, whatever best suits your needs.
