Work History
As a teacher at Hobsonville Point Secondary school, I have been part of the foundation staff that established one of New Zealand’s most innovative secondary schools. As well as being a classroom teacher, working in collaborative cross-curricular teams, I have also taken on a number of leadership responsibilities. This has allowed me to develop my skills in strategic leadership at a school level, pastoral care and curriculum development.
#edchatNZ (2012 – 2017)
As the founder and president of #edchatNZ, I have worked relentlessly to empower educators across the country through knowledge and connection. This manifests itself in a number of ways including professional learning, developing professional relationships and discussions, but also contributing to developing a positive public image of teachers. #edchatNZ aims to build a network of supportive, inspirational educators who collaborate and share for the good of the students in front of them, whoever and wherever they may be.

Edge Work, The Education Futures Network at AUT (2017)
In 2017, I worked with Edge Work to trial a series of experiments in education futures. This role involved engaging with theoretical ideas about education futures, and creating a series of experiments to test how this might be applied practically in schools.
