I work as a Speech and Drama teacher at Howick Little Theatre, Baradene College, and Dynamic Speaking NZ. I teach students aged 5-18. 

I work closely with the syllabus of Trinity College of London and Speech New Zealand with my students, taught to me by Glenda Pearce.

 I also assist the Speech New Zealand examiners to ensure candidates are comfortable and exam days run smoothly as an exam supervisor. 

I work closely with neuro-divergent students and students with English as their second language to develop confident communication and speech skills. 

Also, I am studying for a law degree at the University of Auckland currently, so I can personally vouch for the highly valuable skills that Speech and Drama contribute to both educational and corporate areas. 

I love working with TAPAC in the school holiday programs as it is a super exciting way for students to step out of their comfort zones, learn new skills, and make great friends. I enjoy incorporating speech and confidence-building theory disguised as intriguing games and having fun with characters and storytelling.
