Kia ora koutou, I really enjoy being part of the Student Care team and bring a strengths based, collaborative approach to working with students. After gaining my BA in psychology & drama from UC I moved to Auckland to study and work as a contemporary dancer. I later returned to UC to complete my Masters in Social Work (Appl) and have worked in the NGO sector and for the CDHB. I have a particular interest in stress management and as a meditation practitioner I’m interested in mindfulness approaches to working with issues facing students. I enjoy working with students to support them in their learning and wellbeing journey.
