Before beginning University study, I have always felt the calling to pursue teaching. I am excited to grow learnings from practicum experience and my first year teaching in Akomanga Toru with Cloverlea Kura.

I enjoy playing music; the trombone was my main instrument through study. But I love to sing in the barbershop and choral styles. In my downtime, I enjoy spending time outdoors running or playing a bit of hockey and growing my passions for the arts, languages including Te Reo Māori, digital technologies and structured literacy areas.

Throughout learning and teaching, I have grown in my identity and manaaki towards learning our language te reo Māori. Growing in my self-identity and growing in knowledge through the use of Māori proverbs has enlightened my thinking towards learning and teaching as well as informed my journey of learning te reo through the lense of te ao Maōri ( The world of Māori). Proverbs have important meanings and guide our teachings and learnings when connecting with the diverse range of ākonga in our classrooms.
The whakatauī above identify how important it is to provide ākonga with real and rich learning experiences, so they can explore and dive into the richness of what and how each individual tamariki learns, which adds to their kete of knowledge. Language lies all within us and underpins our understanding and depth of knowledge, providing experiences ākonga relate to will begin to unfold the strengths and unique Purakau (Narratives) each tauira holds.
