I specialise in Māori education at Victoria University of Wellington, Faculty of Education. I work with pre-service and in-service teachers in the early childhood, primary and secondary sectors. Currently my main role is as a Project Coordinator for a Ministry of Education contract delivering teacher professional development. The model used in this professional development is in-school facilitation, using multimedia to increase teachers proficiency of the Māori language and language acquisition. I'm a primary trained teacher who has taught in schools delivering through the medium of the Māori language. I am interested in improving education for Māori and contributing to the field of indigenous knowledge and education, specifically science, technology and education for sustainability.
