Tēnā koutou katoa
Ki te tangata whenua o te rohe nei
Tēnā koutou katoa
Ko Waiatarua te maunga
Ko te Waitematā te moana
Nō Waitākere āhau
Ko Lisa Winiata toku ingoa
Ko Max, ko Alex tōku Tamariki
Nō rēria Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā rā tātou, katoa

I’m excited to be part of Kaitiaki Kindergartens, an association that reflects my passion for delivering high-quality, equitable, and excellent education and care for tamariki. My background spans early childhood education and business, and I am a lifelong learner committed to evidence-based practice. I believe that strategic investment in curriculum drives sustainable impact, lifting quality not just within our organisation but across the sector, nationally and globally. Life outside of work is a blur of sports fields, sandy toes, and half-finished books (because reading in a house with two young energetic kids is basically my extreme sport).

Ko te mātauranga tō tātou patu tino kaha ki te huri i te ao – Education is our most powerful weapon to change the world.
