I am excited to be joining the Onehunga High School whānau as the new Director of Sport. I have spent 15 years working in the sports’ industry, namely in Rugby in the Blues and Hurricanes regions. I look forward to the challenge ahead of me, as I look to build on what has been created by Mr Coombes during his tenure at the school.

Sports has been a passion for me throughout my life whether as a player, coach or in a supporting role and I hope to use this passion to connect, inspire and encourage better outcomes for the student athletes at local, regional and national levels.
