Summary
I grew up on a dairy and horticulture farm in Pukeatua, went to college in Otorohanga. When I left school I enjoyed working in offices and interacting with people. My husband and I had 2 children in 2005 and 2006 and our own contracting business from 2002, that we sold in September 2008 when the recession hit. From there, I found employment that fitted in around my children that I also found great pleasure in learning and pursuing. Now that my children have grown I am wanting to get back into more full time employment.
