About the presenter

Melody Stuckey

My Educational Leadership comes from a diverse perspective due to the privilege of working at governance, management and at tertiary level.

I also come with international experience and was a Head of School for Dulwich College International for 10 years.

After returning to New Zealand 7 years ago, I moved into the role of National Coordinator for CECEAA (An Early Years Association). This position included organising and facilitating PLD across our member centres and was largely a support and guidance role.  More recently I was managing 3 early childhood centres in the Hawkes Bay.  

My current roles include being an ECE consultant for InterLEAD and I am also on the governing board for the Teaching Council.
