I joined Christ’s College in 2014 and have been the Housemaster of Rolleston House since 2020. Following a BSc in Geography and Geology, and an MSc in Geology at the University of Auckland, I completed a PhD at the University of Canterbury. I then completed a Post-Graduate Diploma in Teaching through Victoria University. I teach Years 10–13 Chemistry, and am involved in both Football and Athletics. Since joining Christ’s College, I enjoy time spent building positive relationships with students and supporting them on their journey through high school. Outside of school, my husband and I spend time with our three children (19, 14 and 12 years of age) and two cats. As a family we like to get outdoors and enjoy summer camping, going to the beach and visiting family, as well as relaxing at home having barbecues and watching movies. The strength of Rolleston House comes from the community’s students, families and staff. The boys try their best, set high standards and have fun. I am proud of the positive attitude and community spirit of the boys and I look forward
