Personal statement

I immigrated to New Zealand from Ohio, USA, with my partner several years ago. We are New Zealand citizens with two curious children who have begun their digital citizenship journey. I thrive on empowering them and all individuals to maximise the benefits of our digital world while avoiding its negatives. I am passionate about helping kura weave effective digital citizenship and digital fluency practices throughout their curriculum.
