Papermaker, The Papermill — March 2015 to present.

I am 31 years old and I live in Whangārei. My favourite colours are pink and purple, my favourite food is Thai curry, and I love dolphins. I enjoy R&B and hip-hop music, watching MasterChef, cooking and walking. 

I see dedication and leadership as some of my strengths. My friends describe me as reliable and hardworking, and I love helping other people. I care deeply about my family and my Papermill whānau. I am happiest when I am involved with swimming coaching, Special Olympics and The Papermill. 

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. I enjoy sharing my interests. I have many strengths to celebrate.
