Teaching and being part of the Clevedon School community is a great privilege. I have been an educator for just over 20 years now, in varying roles and capacities. My most favourite thing about being a teacher is the unique fun and joy that only comes from working with children. I also love to play guitar and sing waiata with my class.
I have lived in South Auckland for most of my life and am very proud of my Tongan background and cultural heritage. I am bilingual and try to keep speaking my language when I can so I don't lose it. I have done a lot of traveling and look forward to visiting many more countries on my bucket list. I also like to bake and spend time with my friends and family, especially our family dogs Pumba and Spot.
