Whānau House: Pohutukawa

Hi! I live locally and feel very fortunate to live in such a beautiful place. I have a husband Nick and 2 children - Tamar who is in Year 8 and Liv who is in her second year at Girls High. As a family we love to travel and are looking forward to our next adventure. I have taught in many schools over the years, at all levels as well as in London for 3 years. I love spending time with my family and can often be found with my nose in a book! I also love to go for runs and try to keep fit in the gym when I can.
