My husband Patrick works for Winstone Pulp as a storeman and I am a relief post person for NZ Post Ohakune. My reasons for standing as a nominee for the College Board are simple. They are: to ensuree that the College maintains its present position and moves on from there; to encourage the concept that any learning is worthwhile; to encourage the view that one's background is irrelevant when it comes to the pursuit of excellence in intellectual endeavour. That is, no matter what race or colour or creed, we will learn because we are individuals who" want to leam regardless.

I have had limited administration experience but I can assure the people of the Waimarino, that I am enthusiastic, hardworking and I will do my best.
