Personal Overview

I Have been playing rugby since I was 5. All my life I have been either playing or involved in sports from rugby to Basketball and everything in between. Sport has basically controlled much of my life as it's all I love to do. I have spent time representing my province in all sorts of sports but in the last couple of years I have started putting more focus on rugby and dropping back all my other sports to have all my focus on footy. I used to also play Touch rugby and Rugby League at a high level before giving that up to put all my focus on where I want it to be. My mindset has been to try and make something happen with rugby as I believe I have the skills and the drive to get to that level. Coming off an injury that saw me sidelined in 2020, Once I made my return in 2021 I knew what I wanted to try and achieve in life. I was previously playing footy in the United Kingdom after moving over from New Zealand. Since then I have returned home to New Zealand and helped my club team go on to win and undefeated season which is a major highlight.

In my time I have also picked up some qualifications such as NCEA level 1, 2 and 3 during my time in high school before going on to get my certificate in exercise and personal training level 3 and 4. I also have certificates in Kettlebell and Barbell basics courses. I have been loving my current jobs, both as a teacher aide and a personal trainer as it has grown my confidence as a speaker as well as gaining people skills.  My qualifications have helped get into the best shape of my life at this current point. Not to mention also getting some training programs from a trainer at the Taranaki rugby academy to get my body and skills to the best they can be. My current career choice is being a personal/fitness trainer at Bodyfit Training New Plymouth and being a teacher aide at Highlands Intermediate. Here I have learnt great people skills and growing confidence in talking to large crowds. This has also helped in my footy and has given me much confidence in guiding a team and knowing what to say at the right time.

My prefeered postion is First Five/Fullback as leading a team is what I love to do. I also enjoy a bit at Second Five as well
