Our Team

My name is Lisanne Baukema and that saying right there, is everything I believe when I am standing in front of a classroom. I left a career of Hospitality 11 years ago and entered the adult teaching space. i was fortunate enough to have a very passionate mentor who taught me many things - but his one bit of advice that I still live and breathe everyday is "know your learner".

Kia ora. I have been a keen educator for over 15 years. My passion is in supporting people to meet their goals and to achieve more than they thought possible. The highlight of my career has been catching up with previous learners down the track and seeing their growth and life changes. I'm a mum of 3 amazing children and while new to Palmerston North, I feel very at home here. I have been so pleased to be adopted into the ITS whanau and simply love my role.
