In her early 20's she travelled all over the world including London, Scotland, France, Austria, The Dominican Republic and New York to name a few. She was also an au pair for a wonderful family in London and New York, so she can relate on a personal level to our au pairs. Kaz grew up in Taranaki and have a very close connection to our beautiful Mount Taranaki. At the moment she lives 45 kms north of New Plymouth, with her husband and three year old daughter. In her spare time Kaz enjoys cooking, photography, running and bootcamps, the outdoors and spending time with family and friends. Kaz's teaching philosophy includes ensuring children have plenty of time, space and opportunities to express and follow their interests and ideas. Outdoor education is a passion of hers and she loves supporting children to engage in risk taking and physical challenges to support their all-round development and sense of well-being.
