Biography
I have been involved in teacher education at the Southland Campus of the College of Education for many years now and enjoy the variety the role offers. I teach in the Bachelor of Teaching (ECE) and Graduate Diploma of Teaching (ECE) and also coordinate the overall delivery of the programmes at the campus. Prior to teaching at the College of Education, I taught for many years in both urban and rural Southland kindergartens as well as spending four years teaching in Primary settings in the UK.
