About

I have been involved with the RNZNSC since 2018 and have loved both the sport and the strong community within it. Softball has given me a place to support our Navy whānau, stay connected, and help create an environment where players and families feel welcome, informed, and supported. I enjoy being part of the behind‑the‑scenes mahi that keeps our club running smoothly and ensures our members know exactly who they can come to for guidance or help.
