I was born in Nelson and went to Christchurch Teacher's College. I have been
teaching off & on since 1993 and have worked at Dovedale - Nelson & Tokanui School. The
good things about Tokanui School are the neat kids, everyone knows everyone in the school & they look after each other.
It's a family atmosphere. I am the Principal Release teacher in the Y7 & Y8 class and the school librarian.
I decided to be a teacher because I enjoyed school and wanted to pass that enjoyment on.
If I wasn't a teacher I would be a Librarian or a Forensic Scientist. My favourite pastimes are cross stitch, scrapbooking,
photography, netball and spending time with my family.
An Anecdote
"My mother enjoys telling people how at the age of 4 or 5 I used to line my teddies & dolls
up to play schools."
