Likes
I enjoy working with people to achieve their goals. Working with people in their own homes, I gain a great deal of information about how they function and the strategies they use, so I can best support them to maintain their independence.
Living Active
I enjoy going on day walks around the beautiful Canterbury region, as well as camping and sea kayaking with my family and friends.
