Papermaker, The Papermill — January 2017 to present .

I am 30 years old and I live in Whangārei. My favourite colour is blue, my favourite food is

pizza, and I love dogs. I enjoy listening to The Eagles, watching the news and creating art.

Art is both a favourite hobby and something I feel I do well. I also enjoy chatting to people, jokes and spending time at The Papermill. My friends describe me as happy, and The Papermill is one of the places where I feel happiest. I would like people to know that I am a happy person, and if I could choose a superpower, I would have super speed. I am proud to be

myself. The people, activities and interests in my life help make me who I am. I enjoy

sharing what I love with others and spending time with people who understand me. I have

my own strengths, my own sense of humour and my own way of seeing the world. I keep

learning about myself through work, friendship and everyday experiences. I want people to

notice my abilities, listen to what matters to me and enjoy getting to know the real me. I am

proud to be me. My story matters.
