I have been involved in Rock n Roll dancing since i was 10 years old, both socially and competitively, and have been successful at Senior National level in my dancing, both in couples competition, and team competition I have placed on the podium consistently since 2009 and won National 5 National championships in 4 different sections, and my partner and I are currently the 2025 NZ National Rock n Roll Senior Restricted Champions
As part of my competitive dancing at National level, I have also been tasked with assembling teams, and being part of teams made up of people from diverse backgrounds, building and maintaining effective relationships with dancers, which have led to podium placings and National championships on 2 occasions
I believe my ability to build and maintain effective teams in my dancing also carries over to my work, where, at Sanford Tauranga I was able to effectively run my own Freezer team on core values based on respect, inclusiveness, acceptance and open communication I believe any team, be it sports team, dance team, or work team is only as strong as its weakest link, and an effective team will only achieve its goals by working together
