Hobbies
Being a born and raised Kiwi I thrive in most outdoor activities, beach walks and swims, rural living and gardening. I have a 11 month old with my partner Blake and we take any opportunity to get out of the house and explore. I enjoy moving my body through yoga, exercise and long walks with my family. I have a solid passion to pursue ECE as I love working along side infants and toddlers and being a part of their development and how they see the world around them.
