Your most fond memory of your time so far at Huanui College:
The wonder and joy of our junior students, as they experienced the Van Der Graff for the first time. Hair standing on end, sparks flying. Marveling at their questions and their enthusiasm to understand. Observing the most apprehensive buoyed on by the enthusiasm of their classmates, to eventually just have a go. Building their confidence and willingness to participate and feel comfortable to take on more difficult tasks, and being here to witness and share in their successes.

What do you look forward to with the future of Huanui College?
Commitment and development of our communities, students, vision and goals. Implementing avenues for investigative and developmental science, perhaps partnering with local industry in the future.

What do you enjoy about your role?
The sense of pride and achievement, when students gain the skill and knowledge to safely and confidently perform a practical.The continual improvement and development of practicals to better provide learning outcomes and technical skills for our science students of all ages and skill levels. Working within a talented close knit passionate team. The variety and challenge, each year is a new focus.

How do you like to spend your leisure time?
Enjoying the many coastal walkways with my family. Practicing Yoga, my island of calm. Gardening and enjoying the abundant bird life. Designing and creating original knitwear. A good book in front of the fire on a winters evening.

I teach Mathematics and have been the Curriculum Leader since our school opened in 2010. Over the years, I have built many fond memories, from themed mufti days and general knowledge competitions to Duke of Edinburgh trips, camps, and adventure experiences like surfing and kayaking. One of my favourite traditions is the Whānau Mathex Competition, which has been held in the gym for the past 16 years, and it is always exciting to see our students succeed at the Northland Mathex Competition. Most of all, I enjoy watching students challenge themselves, grow in confidence, and achieve their goals. I believe in continually setting new goals for myself too, and outside of school I love tramping in Aotearoa New Zealand.
