No Waitomo ahau
I come from New Zealand and have been working in the Outdoor Industry for the past eight years. The vocation has led me around the world and into different professions. I have always been invested in the Outdoor Adventure lifestyle, and thoroughly enjoy the freedom and growth it allows. I have spent the last 3 years primarily working as a Adventure caving guide in Waitomo, and an Outdoor Instructor in Australia. I consider it a true accolade to be here at WBHS, and am eager to share my passion with the staff and students alike.
"The greatest thing in the world is not so much were we stand, as in what direction we are moving." -Oliver Wendall Holmes
I appreciate the insight and perspective the outdoors provides us. By becoming assimilated with our environment we are able see the best of ourselves and our place within the world. I believe that the next generation will be required to think more about the world around them, especially in terms of climate care and sustainability. So it is imperative that we begin moving forward into a more Eco-friendly lifestyle.
I hope to instill a sense of understanding and resilience within the students. So that they may conduct themselves with confidence when they enter into the outdoors.
