Accomplishments

    During my time at Hutt City Council, I pursued training in emergency management, which proved beneficial during the New Zealand response to Cyclone Gabrielle earlier this year. I had the privilege of working inside the Bunker alongside the safety team, where my responsibilities included making welfare check calls to the dedicated frontline staff who were actively supporting the community. This experience was truly incredible, and it is something that I will never forget.
