Career Planning? Changing Jobs? Seeking Employment?
I am a registered secondary teacher, living in Tawa, with over 50 years of teaching service in the secondary and tertiary sectors. I recently retired from Wellington College where I was the careers adviser for the past 15 years.
I am now available for students, and families to provide a range of services which include:
Setting career goals, exploring options and opportunities
Post-secondary study options and opportunities, including University, Polytechnics, private training providers, apprenticeships and trade training
CV writing
How to develop a range of skills, qualities and interests necessary to be successful later in life
How to network and respond to employer demands and expectations including research and interview skills
How to be successful in applying for scholarships
How to gain work experience, part time and full time jobs
Weighing up the benefits of Gap years
Developing leadership skills
How to respond to the areas of job and skill shortages in a rapidly changing world
subject choices and where they can lead
My rates are $55 per hour, much less than a plumber or lawyer!

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
