"Kia ora, I have a strong passion for the sport and recreation industry and keen to continue to build on my knowledge of the sector to date having worked in various roles across a range of organisations. Sport has always been a big part of my life and I have really enjoyed the wellbeing benefits that come with being involved in a team in particular hockey, volleyball and tag. In recent years I have picked up social indoor netball, turbo touch and circuit/ functional fitness training which is loads of fun! I am looking forward to starting my new role and working to provide strategic leadership to the school sport sector with a particular focus on increasing the quality and quantity of sporting opportunities that meet the needs of our regions young people."
