Personal Statement:

From the very beginning of my career, I have always been passionate about education. I have worked in a wide range of educational environments, from an urban secondary school, through to training adults in a corporate environment. I believe technology should be accessible and easy. While the media talks about the future of work, I truly believe that it is the future of life we need to be concerned about. Soon, access to technology will determine whether you have access to healthcare, democracy, travel and much much more. The digital divide will create a second class of citizens, one that simply cannot access the necessities of modern life.

In Aotearoa, every child is in school. To make a widespread impact nationwide, we have to upskill our teachers in technology. I am passionate about making tech accessible to all. By first demystifying it for our teachers, we enable them to influence the next generation of kiwis to become creators with technology. Collectively, we will create the Aotearoa we want to live in.
