A dedicated Māori and Samoan educator with twenty-one years' experience specialising in the coherent learning pathway of Year 1–8 primary education. I am passionate about play-based pedagogy in the junior years and facilitating robust, local curriculum project-based inquiry that fosters learner agency. As a culturally responsive GROWTH coach with a proven track record in driving academic excellence, I utilise systematic Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L) and restorative frameworks to cultivate a high-trust learning space where all ākonga thrive.
