Papermaker, The Papermill — October 2021 to present.

I am 25 years old and I live in Whangārei. My favourite colour is purple, my favourite food is sushi, and my favourite animal is the shark. I enjoy rugby, Baby Shark, and watching shows such as What Now. 

I am good at making paper and am passionate about the All Blacks. My friends describe me as passionate and cheeky, and I am happiest when I am at The Papermill. My friends are very important to me, and Mr Bean makes me laugh. I also love the Barrett brothers and six60. 

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.
