"I enjoy going for walkabouts in my spare time. Whether a hike in the country or the city, I enjoy being out and about. Rain or shine, this is what makes me happy, and part of that is staying fit. My mum always told me to do what you love. That is what brings me here. I want to be part of something where I am doing what I love, working with others who feel the same."

In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, walking my dog and generally being outdoors. I am the happiest when I can interact with people and be active at the same time. I also have experience in dispatch for a large company, which gave me skills in handling large numbers of packages and keeping things organized.
