  • I am currently employed as a Business Services Manager at Recreation Aotearoa, where I have worked since 2017.
    Prior to that, I spent 14 years working in Australia. During my time in Australia, I played cricket on the northern beaches of Sydney.

    In my spare time, I enjoy recreating with my family, and I also play cricket on the Kapiti Coast.
