I have worked for the past six years in tertiary education, supporting students in pastoral care. At CNC, I am often the welcoming face of the school. I manage administration and financial operations, supporting the smooth day-to-day running of the college.

Kaiako | Learning Support Coordinator

I am a trained primary school teacher with 23 years experience teaching from Year 0-13 in a range of educational institutions in NZ, Australia and London. I also hold a qualification in Teaching Students with a Specific Learning Difficulty which has been my area of interest and passion over the last 10 years. Most recently, I have been a health school teacher so I come with an understanding of some of the barriers children face when learning.
