About me
I have lived in Hamilton the last 22 years and raised my children here while also building a business. I have been involved in the disabled community through my son and his friends. I was a Jaycee learning leadership skills and running community projects. I am now on the committee for the Photography society. I have volunteered for various organisations during my time in Hamilton.
