As a mother of two, one of my children had high and extreme learning challenges. Despite this happening they have been able to complete and study to have an exciting career.

Personally, I can understand the challenges of learning Maths and the feelings this can cause. 

I have worked with a diverse range of families with learning behaviours and learning difficulties. This was previous to where I am currently - owning Paper Plus with my husband in Te Awamutu and Rotorua.

I plan to bring this experience to the Board.

Myself and my husband, Chris, have strong community values and an interest in the community. MFAL is a wonderful opportunity to combine both my knowledge, community minded attitude and my ability to visualise ideas while having an impact on children's lives.
