Board Chair
I have had an extensive career in education and am committed to contributing to a strong education system in Aotearoa.
I am currently the Chief Executive of the Springboard Trust, a not for profit focused on strategic development of school leaders. Previously I held leadership positions at Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand, the Education Review Office and Careers New Zealand.
For many years I was a secondary school teacher of social studies and geography. I also had an extensive governance career in heritage including Te Manawa Museums Trust and the Auckland War Memorial Museum. I am currently involved with a number of heritage organisations including John Kinder House Society, the Medical Museum Trust, the Colin McCahon Trust, and I am President and Commissioner Clan Cameron New Zealand. I am also a member of the Institute of Directors.
I was elected to the Board of SPELD NZ 2021 and have been Board Chair since then.
