Vicky joined the Matuku Link team in 2026 as an Environmental Educator. She grew up in the Waitākere Ranges and has a love for the outdoors and a commitment to environmental protection. Vicky views the wetlands as the critical, living link between the land and the sea. Vicky has had 30 years of teaching in a wide range of schools from Years 1 to 8 and being part of the Matuku Link team allows her to merge her teaching with her passion for nature.
Vicky’s path to Matuku Link came through her participation in the Science Teaching Leadership Programme (STLP). The programme provided her with the opportunity to step outside the classroom and work directly alongside scientists on conservation efforts. This experience led her to Matuku Link, where she connected with this wetland environment and the team. Vicky is focused on combining scientific inquiry with hands-on learning, helping students explore local biodiversity and understand why protecting these ecosystems matters.
