Papermaker, The Papermill — March 2023 to present.

I am 39 years old and I live in Whangārei. My favourite colour is blue, and when it comes to food, I love a good takeaway, especially fish and chips. I am an animal lover and like cats, dogs and horses. 

Music is a big part of my personality, with hip-hop being my favourite style. Gaming is another major interest for me. I enjoy video games, including Turbo Rider, as well as Spider-Man. I say gaming is something I do particularly well, and I enjoy spending time on my tablet. My ability to pay close attention to detail is one of my strengths and something that can help me with my games, artwork and other activities. Away from technology, I also enjoy going to the beach, giving me a chance to get outdoors and enjoy the coast. I appreciate humour and I enjoy it when someone tells a good joke. 

My family is very important to me, particularly my mum and sister. If I could choose any superpower, I would choose the ability to fly. Perhaps most importantly, I want other people to recognise that I am independent. I am proud to be myself. I am proud to be me.
