I began working in the field of education because of my passion for teaching others. I have 7 years of experience as a residential service team leader for IHC, supporting adults with intellectual disabilities to live independent lives. My first teaching position was as an Assistant Language Teacher in Japan. This led to a role in Indonesia, where I worked as an ESOL teacher for several private schools throughout Jakarta. Upon returning to New Zealand, I worked as a Teacher Aide at Crofton Downs Primary School. I became a qualified teacher in 2019 and have held several full-time teaching roles at Otari Primary School. I believe my experience in education gives me a unique perspective and skill set. My hope is to put these into practice in a role that allows me to build upon my skills and grow as an educator.
