A little about me and my time at Papatoetoe Intermediate School:
Fakaalofa lahi atu,

I started and still continue my journey here at Papatoetoe Intermediate. This will be my 5th year working here and my first year in a new role as an Associate Principal. I have an Undergrad in Communications and Pacific Studies and a Masters in Teaching and Learning.

I was born and raised down in the South Island, Dunedin before moving to Auckland in my teens.I am Niuean and am passionate about culture and providing students opportunities to express and enhance their sense of identity through culture.

My vision and hopes for our school/my class:
My vision and hope is that every child will be provided the rights and opportunities to an education that they deserve. This means supporting students in all aspects. I hope to build students not just academically but also socially, providing them with skills to venture into their own aspirations. It is important to me that all children have a sense of belonging and are proud of who they are.
