I am comfortable using a range of ICT programmes such as Open Office and Google Drive and am quick to learn how to use ones I am not familiar with. I am a keen crafter, enjoy reading and learning about new things. I love to explore the natural world by volunteering with the Pukerua Bay Community Garden and by camping with family and friends.
