I joined Roseneath School in 2011 and have been happy teaching the New Entrant and Year One students ever since. I am now lucky enough to have taught almost every child at our school! Prior to this, I taught at Redwood School in Tawa for five years (also with Year Ones!).

I love welcoming new students to our school and getting to know our families. I love teaching junior children because they are so enthusiastic in their learning. The ‘lightbulb’ moments that they have are pure joy! Working in a small school means that I get to continue to see the children develop throughout their time here. It is wonderful to see them grow in their skills and confidence.

DanceSplash is a real highlight for me each year, as we get to work with Year 3-8 students to create and perform a dance at the Michael Fowler Centre as part of the Artsplash Festival.
