Favorite sport is Ice Hockey, what I do most often is mountain climbing (and a member of Collingwood FC, AFL). I am also a big fan of Air Crash Investigation, now into my 12th year of watching it.
We are a blend of New Zealand, Australia, Canada and Scotland in the family, and live all over the world.
I have a wide and varied skill-set, and am looking for engaging and challenging work every day. I have a passion for professional development, and believe people make the difference to any organisation. I like to balance work with volunteer activity, through delivering education programs. I am adaptable, flexible, passionate about what I do and have a keen strategic focus whilst capable of working in the details. I believe in mentoring and upskilling both myself and others to achieve continuous improvement and hig-performance.
