Amber Jones

Amber is the Karioi Kids & Rangers After School Programme Coordinator with the Karioi Project. Amber’s love of life shines through in all she does. While working on the Karioi Project she easily balances children’s learning while maintaining the fun factor. She’s quick with a smile to assure even the most timid child that they are heard, supported and welcome. When not teaching for Karioi, Amber is a qualified early childhood educator which explains her incredible patience and care. Her off-the-clock fun includes being a professional massage therapist, lover of live music, mountain biker and a keen surfer.
