Karen Gorton

Kia ora, my name is Karen Gorton. My role is Visiting Teacher in the Hawkes Bay region. Although I am originally from Wellington I did most of my schooling in Havelock North before moving to Auckland for a short period. I have been back in the Bay for seven years living in Flaxmere with my son Tate (11 years old) and partner Pete. His eight year old daughter Ella stays with us regularly also.

I began teaching in Auckland ten years ago working in an early childhood centre. Having previously worked behind desks all day – payroll and administration - I really enjoyed observing and being part of the enthusiasm and passion that teachers and children displayed each day. More importantly, no day was the same!! The following year I took it upon myself to begin training at MIT in Manukau. In 2005 I completed my Diploma in Early Childhood Education at EIT in Taradale.
