Activity summary
Business Student with a Big Heart for Little Minds
Kia ora!
I’m a creative person currently studying a business degree, with a big heart for young people. I love watching young minds explore their imagination and I’m always happy to jump in, get a little messy, and make learning fun. I’m a hands-on person who enjoys the outdoors, a good hike, boxing combos, dancing, singing, and yes a lot of talking (balanced with just as much listening). I also love baking and somehow managing to make a mess while keeping everything organised, organisation is definitely one of my strengths. I bring energy, creativity, and a positive attitude into everything I do, while still keeping things fun, structured and learning something new!
