Activities
I enjoy sport and being outdoors. My Te Whare Tapa Whā (mental, spiritual, physical and emotional health) is very important to me. I enjoy helping and supporting people, which is what a lot of my 2 year missionary service involved. I love being with my family and being a role model for my younger siblings. Many of my life skills have evolved from a young age. I am from a whānau of eight siblings and appreciate all the learnings and experiences that come from being a part of a big whānau. I am able to work well in a team environment and can also adapt easily to working alone. I’m excited to learn new things as I get more involved in the workforce and take on new opportunities that come my way.
