LATEST PROJECTS








01
Health and Fitness
In 2014, I started on a journey of weight loss, joined my first boot camp, and then another and another. Four years later I am approximately 20 kgs lighter, and most importantly so much fitter and stronger.
I started Crossfit in 2017, and one year later I qualified to compete at the Crossfit Nationals Finals. I'm currently working to fill in the gaps in my skills to improve my placing in the upcoming years.

The Importance of Being Earnest
In 2018 I was given the opportunity to be part of a Tauranga Open Air Theatre's production of The Importance of Being Earnest. This was a huge step outside of my comfort zone as I was cast as Gwendolyn, alongside my husband who played Earnest. As one of the key characters this required a ton of line learning and one of the biggest learnings for me was stepping away from the fear of "looking silly" and owning my character.
