I was born in Takapuna, New Zealand but grew up in Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia. I moved there with my parents when I was 8 years old. While in Kyrgyzstan, I attended an international school before studying at a Word of Life Bible College in Hungary.

I moved to Palmerston North in 2021 to study Sports Management at Massey University where I attended Church on Vogel and began volunteering at the House Next Door. In 2023 I was offered employment as a Community Worker and jumped at the opportunity.

I love the outdoors; gardening, going to the beach, biking, hiking, and camping. I also like watching and playing football but am also keen on other sports.

I really enjoy serving my community in such a meaningful way, building lasting relationships, and having heaps of fun. I believe it’s important to put others first and the House Next Door is a place where I can do just that in a friendly, caring, and accepting environment.
