Kia ora whanau, my name is Edel and I’m currently the head teacher of the nursery room.

I’m originally from Ireland and therefore, have an Irish honour bachelors of arts degree in early childhood care and education which took me four years of study to achieve. I graduated in 2016 and have continued to work in this sector ever since. For this reason, I feel I have grown and developed great knowledge over the past few years and will continue to grow each day within this profession.

I’ve been living in New Zealand for over six years now and love it so much that I have just recently received my NZ residency. Yaaay!

I have so much aroha working alongside the great team we have here at Moa as we help your tamariki blossom into young capable learners. I have a huge passion in building trusting and respectful relationships to really get to know each child and their uniqueness so we can really build on this and watch them succeed.

When I’m not at work, I like to participate in social sports with my friends and also going on adventures to see the world around us.
