Elke Lutsch - Strumberger - Teacher

Elke and her son moved from the Black Forest region of Germany to the Bay of Plenty in 2013. Not long after, she joined New Shoots as a relief teacher.

“I was so pleased to get a permanent position in the preschool class for three to four year olds in 2015. I love working here and being in the beautiful Bay of Plenty. In my spare time I enjoy walking on the beach with my teenage son and talking about life with him.”
