Hobbies and Interests

I have a strong passion for sport, which I consider one of my key skills. I enjoy challenging myself, pushing beyond my comfort zone, and dedicating many hours to training and development. I have represented Hawke’s Bay in regional teams from 2019–2022 and currently play in the Otago University Premier Team, which has strengthened my teamwork, discipline, and resilience. Beyond sport, I enjoy socialising and interacting with people, as I value building strong connections, learning from others, and making a positive difference.
