Kia ora! As your Schools Waste Wise Educator at Sustainable Kaipara, I bring 25 years of teaching experience and a deep-rooted passion for our environment to every classroom and garden bed. Alongside my role as a local Nature School teacher, I’m a passionate gardener who finds magic in watching things grow. My goal is to support that connection for our tamariki, empowering them to become enthusiastic, lifelong kaitiaki of our beautiful land. I have 3 children, run an organic food co-op, and love to be outside!
