Ko Liz Ross-Collier tōku ingoa

I te mahi ahau i te mahi RTLB mai i te tau 2020. 

Mai i te tau 1993, kua mahi ahau i te ao mātauranga, i te tuatahi i te heke whakaakoranga kōhungahunga, Early Childhood sector, hei kaiāwhina, ā, i muri i tēnā i te kura tuatahi me te kura tuarua hei kaiako. I taua wā, ko au te tumuaki tuarua o tētahi o ngā kura.

I have been working in education since 1993 in a number of roles, including teacher-aide, teacher and senior leadership and a number of contexts including early childhood, primary and secondary schools. I have been an RTLB since 2020, starting in Cluster 12, Manurewa and moving to Cluster 1 in 2023.
