It is with a very warm heart I place this on my website. Thank you to my Alumni OHS for still seeing me doing silly things, but you seeing them as worthwhile. Really makes me smile reading this article. PS – Round the Bays is a fun event, always is, lots of smiles 🙂


The world is having a very challenging time dealing with this virus. I feel so lucky and blessed to be in NZ where our struggles are quite minor in comparison to other countries. We all have our own struggles, some are seen, some we hold within us. I continue to train even though several events

A beautiful small group this time, not that low numbers stopped this intake from being just as loveable. Graham the Qantas trainer did a fantastic job of keeping the students (and us) on our toes. Each time I get asked intense questions, I get reminded that we are all different, and we all think differently.

Big thanks to Andy, Graham and Jet Connect for having us. What a great bunch! This team was really well connected with each other and showed it easily when laughing and thinking. They had leaders which they looked to for support, yet they also looked to others to help build them up. I really enjoyed

Thank you Lani and Jet Connect for having us chat with your newest intake. This 14 strong team worked well together, with a few good leaders in the group taking the lions share of the question/answer time. They laughed at all the right times, which makes my job even easier. Thanks for having me 🙂

On occasion I get invited to speak at the Auckland Spinal Unit (in Otahuhu). I an lucky enough to be able to give back from time to time. For a long time I struggled with my new life, but now i relish in it. Through the experience, and moving forwards, I’m now able to share
