Currently based in Te Tauihu (top of the South Island region), while also deeply connected to the cultures of Rotorua and Whakatāne, and the values embedded in te ao Māori and Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Jules brings extensive international experience in pre-service and in-service teacher education.

She is widely respected for her inclusive, values-driven approaches and for her ability to work across diverse educational and cultural settings.

She is a qualified and published researcher with expertise in Grounded Theory and adult autonomous and online learning. Her recent research explored how teachers learn to teach by reflecting, building relationships and collaborating, and engaging in an ongoing process of adapting by monitoring responses, determining wants and needs, and experimenting.
