Profile Information

Date of Birth

January 3, 1979

About Me:

I value Aotearoa - our people and our planet and want my acts of living to reflect that.

Areas of interest and expertise

Environmental Justice has to come near the top of the list – I am committed to making changes and living as honestly as I can to make a difference in my world. I founded The Big Shwop with Inga Boyd, to begin to put some of those values into action.

I work, in my day job in education and have just completed my Masters in Education (yay!) in Maori and Pacific education as well as curriculum and assessment. I want all learners to be in an education environment where they feel that they are valued, connected and safe.

I will continue to work in areas that address disparity in our society and environment.

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” - Mahatma Gandhi
It’s a magnificent motto and a thought that embodies who I am striving to begin to be at this stage of my life.

At 3:06pm on November 10, 2009, Nick Potter said…: Surprise!

You’re invited to our last Face-to-Face event for Wellington Intersectors for 2009 on November 24. There will be the usual sharing of ideas and inspirations, but this one is a little bit Christmas flavoured and it’s all about Giving.

There will be surprise gifts, crafty activities, ideas for 'sustainable' gifts and conversations about giving. You can get involved in any way that suits you - even if it's just to meet a few more people and enjoy some tasty treats.

...Pssst...pass it on!
Why not surprise someone from the Wellington Intersectors and post this invite on their profile?

Cheers!
