Interests and Hobbies


I participate in a variety of extra-curricular activities in addition to my job at ILT Stadium Southland and my education at Southland Girls High School. I have always enjoyed dancing since I was around 5 years old and have participated in after school Jazz, Ballet, Contemporary, Acrobatics, Hip - Hop, Musical Theatre and Tap dancing classes until I was 16. In my spare time I enjoy volunteering at a local charity "The Shoe Booth" where I help organise events which provide the local community in need with free shoes, food, clothes, haircuts, massages and beauty treatments. I also take part in gym classes and enjoy going on walks with my dog and family in my own time which shows my passion for health and fitness.
