## About

Professional summaryI am a strategic and inclusive student learning professional with extensive experience leading teams, designing blended support programmes, and managing stakeholder relationships across tertiary, secondary, and community settings. I am passionate about fostering student success through equitable, culturally responsive, and scalable learning services. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a proven track record in staff leadership, programme development, and process improvement.

I am skilled at integrating data-driven insights, embedding equity principles, and collaborating across complex organisations. My commitment is to deliver high-quality student experiences that advance learning outcomes and uphold the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. I have led operational delivery and strategic oversight of multiple partnership programmes, ensuring compliance with organisational and regulatory standards.

I have directed and mentored partner staff, coordinated programme operations, and designed training workshops to enable scalable and sustainable services. My experience includes overseeing CRM-based data management and embedding equity, diversity, and inclusion principles into all operational processes to improve access and outcomes for underrepresented learners.

I have managed student engagement and progression initiatives, delivered blended workshops on employability and academic skills, and acted as a primary liaison with schools and community organisations. I have also worked as a teacher, delivering academic programmes and student support services, coordinating curriculum delivery, and partnering with external agencies to promote student success.

My background includes development officer roles where I led case management and service coordination for young carers, developed workshops to enhance life skills and wellbeing, and promoted inclusivity and cultural competency. Additionally, I have experience coordinating academic events and communications, conducting educational research, and delivering inclusive wellbeing and learning support services in leisure and fitness settings.

I hold a Master's degree in Sociology and Ethics of Sport and a Bachelor's degree in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences. I am fluent in multiple languages and committed to continuous professional development and equity-driven educational practices.
