Professional profile
E ngā mana, e ngā reo, e ngā rau rangatira mā, nei rā te mihi.
As a facilitator I bring experience as a past Kaiako, Pouārahi, Tumuaki, Education Consultant and an Evaluator (ERO) into a changing education environment.
From humble beginnings and under the korowai of many whānau and Rangatira, I have developed a solid foundation of Te Reo Māori, Tikanga Māori, Te Tiriti o Waitangi, Te Aho Matua, Mātauranga Māori, Bi-lingual Education, Teaching Practice, Leadership, Evaluation and Cultural Responsive practices to support whānau and kura.
It is always a privilege to work alongside the many whānau, tamariki, Tumuaki, kaiako, hapū and Iwi. Working to capture the voices of the people through listening and supporting has been the ethos in which I have worked upon, enabling us to work together and uniquely tailor the learning and teaching for the tamaiti, mokopuna , and uri.
