Affiliations
Spending time with my two incredible children is my most treasured activity. Travel, learning about cultures and perspectives different to my own by immersing myself in new situations and place has also been a life long passion. I also love dance of all forms and currently participate in a weekly latin exercise class. I am rejuvenated by nature and am grateful for the beautiful, pollution free rivers and oceans we are privileged to have access to in this country.
