Hi, I’m

Maaumei Havea

Charlestown,NSW

Summary

I believe I am a cheerful, motivated, and adaptable person with an aptitude for self-evaluation, critical reflection and professional development. I love building connections through organic interaction and integrating any feedback for tailored educational strategies.


I value a dynamic and authentic experience-based education with a proven track record at Billy Kids Learning Centre, where I enhanced student musicianship and engagement through innovative, hands-on activities and a research-based teaching style.


As a culturally diverse South African and Tongan man who has experienced the hardships of discrimination first-hand, I strive to model resilience and foster an inclusive learning environment that leverages a positive attitude and collaborative mindset.
