If you had to introduce yourself in one paragraph, what would you say?
Kia ora, I grew up in Mohua - Golden Bay in the South Island. I’m a lover of the natural world that gets way too much serotonin from sunsets. I’ve spent time in modern sports karate, football and theatre sports. In my spare time I bake sourdough and look after my plants. I have one brother and three step-siblings who are all super groovy, as well as grew up with fours dogs, two cats and a bunch of sheep. I have a burning urge to travel however the more I go away the more I am grateful to have grown up in Aotearoa. I’ve lived in Pōneke for the past four years and would genuinly struggle to live in any other city in Aotearoa.
