My favourite super hero is: 

Pippi Longstocking - Super strength, super speed, Invulnerability and the power of flight

My favourite saying: 

"I've learnt that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel" - Maya Angelou

My favourite song: 

Why I became a Teacher:

Dancing Queen - ABBA

I was born into the vocation - my great grandfather was the first grammar teacher in Southland.

What I love to see in the world:

I would love to see a world that lives in peace and people are happy

If I could be a child again what would I do?

Learn to play golf as I'm sure my handicap would be so much lower!

My message for the children of Aotearoa

Your emotions matter. They drive your learning, decision making, creativity, relationships and most importantly your health. 

Keep developing your Emotional Intelligence by recognising your emotions, giving them a name , expressing and regulating them
