He aha te mea nui o te ao?
He tangata, he tangata, he tangata!
I am a ‘people person’. From a young age, people fascinated me. My passion for people has seen me travel the world, become a teacher and develop into an educational leader. This year I am celebrating my 30th year in education. I particularly enjoy working with young people, helping them to make sense of the world around them – guiding them in learning to be the best they can be.

I love teaching and believe Huntly Primary School is a wonderful learning community. We have amazing talented students who make everyday fun and exciting. It has been my privilege over the years to be a part of many families and in some small way touch the lives of so many people. I love spending time at the beach and enjoy getting outdoors. I am looking forward to a wonderful year with our families and students.

Kaua e mate wheke me mate ururoa
Do not die like an octopus, instead die like a hammerhead shark.
Do not give up so easily, instead fight until the bitter end.
Fakalofa lahi atu kia mutolu oti ma fanau – I look forward to what 2019 has in store for both myself and our tamaiti. My educational journey has taken me many places – from the City of Sails to Brisbane Australia and now the mighty Waikato. The whakatauki above, for me, refers to having a ‘Can Do’ attitude and ‘Never giving up’ when faced with adversity. My door is always open – so feel free to pop on in. To feleveia, Mr Hunia.
