I have lived on the coast in Victoria, Australia for nearly the same number of decades that I lived in my birth country of Aotearoa, New Zealand.

My career has spanned 35 years in the healthcare and education sectors in both countries. I live with my partner, two adult sons and two cats, who despite not earning an income, are in charge of the household.​
