What inspired you to support us?
Your forward-thinking support for neurodivergent tamariki and whānau lit me up. As someone with ADHD, I relate to kids often misjudged as “lazy” or “stupid.” Your mahi is vital, and I’m proud to back our unique fabulousness!
If you had a magic wand to solve one challenge in the world, what would it be?
I’d end education discrimination. Education should be a right, not a privilege for a few. When it’s withheld, we all lose.
What’s something that always makes you smile or feel good about?
Watching my niece and nephew grow up so fast. Being an aunty is the best!
What’s your favourite way to unwind after a long day?
A dose of Nancy Sinatra. Her boots and her tunes were made for walking!
What’s a small act of kindness that’s made a big impact on you?
My friends and I love to catch up for trivia nights! After four eye surgeries to repair a twice-torn retina and cataract, my eyesight isn’t too stellar. They read out the zany trivia questions on the projection screen to me - it means a lot to have that small, yet impactful help from them!
If you could spend a day volunteering, where would it be and what would you do?
With local expertise and collaboration, I’d love to volunteer in translation services and community integration efforts! For me, I’m not choosy about where I volunteer, however, it’s crucial to research which organisation you’re volunteering with, to ensure your efforts durably sustain those who need it!
