Rana’s passion is working with young tamariki, she started in 2003 where she worked as a playgroup co-ordinator in Melbourne, Australia. Four years later, Rana returned to Aotearoa to pursue her passion and gained a qualification in early childhood education from MIT.

Rana held various positions in ECE and later found that tertiary teaching is just as exciting, furthering her journey in the educational field. She hasn’t looked back since. To be able to support tertiary students to pursue their dream of becoming a kaiako and nurturing the tamariki to become confident and competent learners is exceptionally rewarding.
