Kia Ora,

My name is Michelle and I’ve been an ECE teacher and leader in many roles over the past 20 something years. Supporting educators to succeed has always been a passion of mine, and I feel so proud to bring my knowledge and expertise to those providing care and education to tamariki in the Bay Of Plenty area. My passions in my teaching lie within building whanaungatanga (relationships) in nature exploration and in real world skills.

I’m a Mum, wife, sister, daughter, aunty, niece and cousin to many, with most of my whānau located here in Tauranga where my heart lies. I look forward to visiting and meeting you soon and sharing in fun and learning together. Nga mihi nui.
