Nō Aerani me Ingarani ōku tupuna
Kei Waiake ahau e noho ana
Ko Tara Solomon tōku ingoa
Ko Alisha māua ko Serena āku tamariki

Passionate about early childhood education and working for purpose, I bring extensive experience in values-led leadership, governance and organisational transformation with a strong focus on creating environments where tamariki and kaimahi flourish.

Originally from the UK I moved to Aotearoa New Zealand 17 years ago. As a people-focused leader I'm passionate about developing those around me to thrive and flourish. I’m driven by a deep desire to make a meaningful difference, and I feel privileged to serve Kaitiaki Kindergartens and our local communities. Outside of work, you’ll often find me tramping or camping, or enjoying quiet, restorative time with my whānau and friends.

Nāu te rourou, nāku te rourou, ka ora, ai te iwi – With your food basket and my food basket the people will thrive
