As a child growing up in the Hurunui district I spend nearly every birthday at the Hanmer Hot Pools. These pools has a very special place in my heart and as a student studying to hopefully one day work with coral reefs around the world, getting the opportunity to work here would be a dream come true. I love to help others in our small community and working with you all would not only be an amazing experience but one that I can learn from for future endeavors.
