Talofa lava, O au o Laupisi, I have studied (GradDipTchng at Victoria University, B.Ed at Massey University and DipEd at the National University of Samoa. I also hold a NCALNE Lvl4 and a Certificate in the National Selling Programme Lvl1 here in NZ.

I started teaching back in Samoa for seventeen months but had career change to the Retail sector when I arrived in New Zealand in 2005. I worked for 10 years in different Retail outlets and have been blessed with four years of experience in the management role while undergoing studies. My passion has always been with teaching so I went back to this field at the end of 2014, once I completed my postgrad. The most rewarding aspect in my job is to see the youth successfully completing their NCEA qualifications and make something good in their lives either by further studies or obtaining jobs. Outside of work life I love spending quality time with my husband and our boys. If you don’t find me teaching for long period of time we’re probably out of the country visiting my parents and brothers in Samoa.
