Tamika Fonoti Centre Admin
Tamika Fonoti, Centre Admin

Fakaalofa lahi atu and Talofa Lava! I am Tamika and I am the centre administrator for Lollipops Waiwhetu. I completed my Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminology and Pacific Studies at Victoria University of Wellington in 2018. I first started my ECE journey in December of 2022 at Lollipops Petone before moving here in June 2023.

I have loved working within the ECE sector and I really enjoy interacting with the families and children here. I look forward to seeing where this journey takes me in the near future.
