I was born in Hamilton & spent my childhood moving around several different Waikato towns farming. I went to high school at Putaruru. 
After leaving school I headed to Australia to work for several years. 
On my return I spent a few years in the Bay of Plenty & then moved back to Hamilton working in sales. 
In 1986, I decided to go to university & change careers. During this time I had my daughter, Amanda. After completing my degree I entered Teachers’ College & then started teaching in Hamilton & also ‘acquired’ three stepchildren.
After all our children left home, my husband & I made the move to Auckland & in 2005 I joined The Gardens School staff. It has been a great experience thus far. This year I have changed from a classroom teacher & moved to the Poutama Centre, working with all levels of the school, as well as looking after the computers for everyone. 
I am looking forward to a year of new challenges & some fun learning.
