Classroom teacher Room 26

A little about me and my time at Papatoetoe Intermediate School:
I am an experienced teacher with 7 years of classroom teaching in South Africa and additional teaching experience across various schools in the South Island of New Zealand. For the past 4 years, I have been part of the vibrant learning community in the Nelson region, where I loved working with students and contributing to their growth and success.

My vision and hopes for our school:
My vision for our class is to create a space where every student feels valued, inspired, and empowered to achieve their best. I believe in fostering a supportive environment that encourages curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.

A bit more about me:
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring the outdoors, camping, and hunting. I love painting and drawing, and in my free time, I am practicing my new hobby—playing the bass guitar. I am passionate about education, creativity, and inspiring young minds to reach their full potential.
