January Update...Kranjska Gora then off to the Olympics!

 

Well, if I haven’t said it to you yet, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope it was a very enjoyable holiday for everyone. My New Year’s Eve was fairly quiet, celebrated with friends in Zell am See whilst being very restrained, knowing how big a month was in front of me. more...

Christmas greetings to everyone! This update comes to you from the rain soaked town of Leogang in the heart of the Alps. The weather isn't exactly encouraging right now, so here's hoping it gets better very soon! Click here for the full update!

AMP Scholarship winner!

In August I was hugely fortunate to attend the AMP Scholarships awards evening as a recipient. The function was a black tie dinner at the Auckland Museum, where along with meeting many amazing past and present recipients, I was also very lucky to be seated with the Prime Minister Rt. Hon. John Key as well as Board Chair, Roseanne Meo and Managing Director Jack Regan. The scholarship is an enormous boost to my ability to reach my goals, so thank you very much AMP!
