Who is Ms Lun?

In a previous life (pre-kids) I was a medical laboratory scientist (mainly biochemistry).  I have a Bachelor of  Medical Laboratory Science degree from Massey University in Palmerston North. 

I have volunteered at my two boys' primary school doing various science-based activities and was involved with the Parent Reading programme so I am passionate about education.

My other science educator role is with Science Expo (where I take a science roadshow to primary and intermediate schools in Auckland).

In July 2021, I started part-time as the manager of the South Auckland branch of House of Science. The branch officially opened in  August 2021, a week before another lockdown! I am excited to be part of this amazing initiative getting comprehensive science kits into South Auckland schools and supporting teachers to teach science effectively. Part of my role is to educate students using VR (virtual reality) - I can take students to coral reefs, into space, around the world looking at landforms or volcanic activity. To be able to help consolidate the classroom learning with virtual, real life scenarios is truly rewarding.
