I appreciate just how well the skills I amassed in my previous training, studies and experience dovetail with those required in the industry. Before studying for a quadruple major in sport and exercise science, physiology, personal training and gym management at Massey University, I lived and trained in Japan as a semi-professional Judo athlete, all of which involve high levels of self-discipline, reflection and application. Listening to clients’ needs and understanding what they require are particular skills that I have honed and, with my drive to achieve impeccable results, I am looking forward to building my career with Professionals. Outside of work, I maintain my 21-year involvement with the martial arts and am also a keen amateur scenic photographer. Having lived in Christchurch for five years, I am now putting down roots and starting a family here.
