"I have 10 years experience in Te Kohanga Reo, and am a Primary Trained Teacher graduating from Dunedin College of Education and Otago University with a Bachelor of Education. As an HOD Māori of a Year 7 to Year 13 school till my arrival with NZQA , my goal has been to motivate successful education outcomes for Māori. This I hope to also achieve in my journey with MQS. Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini ke."
