BIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS 

I was born in Te Puke and spent my early childhood years on our family farms before being sent to boarding school in Masterton.
 
INFLUENCES

My family has been key to my initial growth & guidance. They encouraged me to set off on my OE at 17yrs. They taught me great values, work hard, be honest and keep moving forward.
These experiences have given me confidence and cultural awareness as well as the realisation that we have great freedom in New Zealand.
I have had many teachers in my life, some I have learned by observing and others through experiencing. I am excited to see who turns up next and what I will learn.
In my spare time I love to ride my horse in the Rangataua Forest or out to the Argo valley to see the wild Kaimanawa horses...I really enjoy being in the great outdoors!
