Summary

Currently pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Teaching (Primary). I have been on placement at Te Pākihi o Maru since the beginning of 2024, I have gained valuable experience in my roles as student teacher and kaiāwhina, which has been incredibly rewarding. As a driven and well-organized business owner/operator, I approach every task with a positive attitude. Throughout my tenure as co-founder and six-time club president of Old Boys Netball Inc., I have honed my skills in managing multiple priorities. Furthermore, I have excelled in roles such as sponsorship and grants representative, social media representative, and fundraising coordinator. My dedication to the sport is further demonstrated through my service as an Executive Member of the North Otago Netball Committee. Passionate about netball, I have also dedicated four years to coaching my daughter's school netball team, witnessing their growth in skills and confidence.
