Summary

I have just recently finished year 13 at Wa Ora Montessori. I am passionate about water activities and the environment and sailing has been a big part of my life for the past 9 years. Over this time I have sailed different classes competitively and travelled around NZ to various regatta's. I enjoy the challenges involved with the sport and the different people I get to meet along the way. I have recently completed the PADI rescue diver scuba course and would really like to take this further to dive master. I have a diverse range of friends and enjoy snowboarding trips with my family over winter.
