I have a diverse range of hobbies that bring me immense joy and fulfilment. One of my foremost passions is listening to music of all genres, which always uplifts my spirits. I also find solace in horse riding's rhythmic gallop and netball's strategic gameplay. Additionally, I am an avid reader, especially of Witi Ihimaera's thought-provoking works.

Tennis is another interest of mine, and I support the incredibly talented Novak Djokovic. There is something truly special about driving back to my hometown of Ruatoki, where cherished memories and a deep sense of belonging await me.

I relish eating egg sandwiches and embarking on invigorating bush walks. Furthermore, in the 80s, I played touch rugby alongside Peter Walters. My fervent support for the Mangere East Hawks marks my unwavering dedication to my favourite rugby league team. As a technology fan, I consider the wheel one of the greatest inventions of all time.
