Kia ora! My name is Amanda, and I am delighted to join the Auckland Normal Intermediate team this year. Over the past decade, I worked as a Mandarin teacher in international schools across Myanmar and Taiwan. Bringing a lifelong love for learning, I am currently undertaking doctoral studies at the University of Auckland. Outside of my research and school, I love staying active through boxing, playing pickleball and badminton, and dancing hip-hop! I’m very excited to work alongside such an inspiring team and get to know the ANI community!
