Summary
Originally from Taranaki, I am currently studying towards my Masters in Sport Science at the University of Canterbury, with an anticipated completion date of November 2025. I am a well-organised, self-motivated and outgoing person with a huge passion for sport. Throughout my studies I have gained experience in the sports industry through paid work, volunteering, and an internship at Canterbury Rugby. My main interest areas are strength and conditioning, sports science, and sport development. In between High School and beginning my studies at Massey University, I worked in several industries such as retail and hospitality before ultimately deciding to pursue my passion for sports.
