My involvement of archery started in 2009 when my son brought home an “Archery in Schools” paper for our local club. In 2011 I became the club’s secretary, five years later I was elected onto the board of ArcheryNZ as the National Secretary. It was at this time that I attended the World Archery Oceania Congress in Auckland; it was here that I was elected as the Secretary General for WAO.
I have organised seven ArcheryNZ Indoor Nationals events hosted by our local club, along with being part of the Administration Team for ArcheryNZ Outdoor Nationals.
My husband Tony and I started shooting in 2014, with Tony shooting recurve and me shooting compound.
I have three adult children with one grandson. For the last 29 years my work has been as care giver/support worker caring for all age groups in our community/hospital and residential homes, a role I find very rewarding.
For relaxation I enjoy sewing for my grandson, daughters and friends.
