Biography

Naomi is an Associate Professor at the University of Otago, College of Education, where she serves as the Associate Dean of Initial Teacher Education. Her work focuses on secondary mathematics education and curriculum, driven by a deep passion for understanding how individuals form and develop their relationships with mathematics over time.

In 2024, Naomi was honoured with a University of Otago Teaching Award, adding to her recognition as a past recipient of the Teacher Education Forum of Aotearoa New Zealand's Emerging Teacher Educator Award. Her background is secondary school mathematics teaching in both New Zealand and the Sultanate of Oman, experiences that continue to shape her approach to teacher education.

Naomi's professional identity is grounded by her ongoing engagement with the teaching community through research, teacher certification, and the education of preservice teachers. She maintains active connections with mathematics associations across New Zealand and contributes as a Bevan Werry Speaker for the New Zealand Association of Mathematics Teachers.
