Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary), Diploma in Christian Leadership

I am a rural girl at heart. Being brought up on a farm in Northland meant I learnt the value of hard work and teamwork. I love all things nature and love adventures - especially travel! I love spending time with my husband and two girls – camping, hiking, water activities!

As the College Deputy Principal, I aim to see students and staff flourish and thrive at Horizon School. People matter to me and it's why I do what I do. I love the family vibe at Horizon and the way that people are able to belong, no matter their differences.

Performing Arts is a passion of mine. I write plays, perform, direct, and especially love musicals.

Master’s in Interior Architecture, Postgraduate Certificate in Design and Technology, Qualified as a Christian Spiritual Director and Supervisor for Spiritual Directors

I am from the UK and originally arrived in New Zealand in 2008. I am married and have three children who go to Horizon School. My educational background is in Art, Music, Architecture, and Design.

At Horizon School, I love helping people grow holistically and naturally draw on my creativity, compassion, and craftsmanship to help them on their journey. I bring this into practice as a teacher and mentor, seeking to engage and inspire young people to connect with their own imagination and creativity.

Spending time outdoors draws out my creativity, and I often incorporate organic forms and shapes into my ideas as an artist and designer.

Bachelor of Science in Biology, Bachelor of Arts in History, Graduate Diploma in Teaching

Originally from Snells Beach, I spent time in Wellington for University and South Auckland where I taught for 7 years. In 2017 I returned to Snells Beach with my husband and two daughters who go to Horizon.

I love teaching and can't imagine ever doing anything else. It is such a privilege to walk alongside these fabulous young people during their years at College. I love that at Horizon the students are known and that their interests and passions are encouraged.

Outside of school, I love to go camping or spend time at the beach with my whānau. I also enjoy baking, reading, David Attenborough docos, and learning photography.
