My name is Danielle and I am currently finishing my final paper at EIT to finish my ECE Degree. I have been working on and off in the education sector between starting my own family. I have two sons, my eldest is Jett Roczen (4.5) and my youngest is Maddox Tyke (2). We live in Clive but have been a part of the Mahora community for the last three years. I am incredibly passionate about the environment when working with children and creating a safe, secure, warm and inviting place for tamariki to grow in. My values are all under pinned by my passion of advocating for children and supporting a child’s voice.
