Last year, I had the privilege of officially becoming an Australian citizen, and I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what that means to me.

As many of you know, I’m originally from New Zealand and have been living in Australia since 2008. Over the past 15 years, this country has become home in every sense of the word. It’s where I’ve built my life, grown as a leader, and invested in opportunities that create a lasting impact. Australia has given me incredible experiences, strong connections, and a place where I truly belong.

At the same time, New Zealand will always be a part of me. My roots run deep there, and I’m proud of my heritage. While I’m now officially an Australian, my ties to whānau, culture, and the place I grew up remain just as strong.

For me, becoming a citizen wasn’t just a formality—it was my way of expressing gratitude for this country and everything it has given me. I’m proud to be an Aussie and excited for the future, both personally and professionally.

Thanks to all of you who have been part of this journey with me. Looking forward to many more years of growth, opportunity, and success. Cheers! 🍻🇦🇺🇳🇿
