Qualifications: BoT- Christchurch College of Education (2001), Diploma of Teaching- Early Childhood (1995) with full teacher registration.
I began working for An-nur as a relief teacher over five years ago, today I enjoy working full time with the over two children. I believe that every child has a right to quality pre-school education which An nur provides. The centre encourages the children to make their own choices by providing an environment which meets the needs of each individual child.
I am committed to early childcare and encourage parents to speak freely to me whenever they can.

I have a passion for young children. I enjoy being part of the upbringing of young children, giving them the attention they deserve and providing them with the education and care they need.
