My work: Quarantine officer
Fun fact: Very good at finding four leaf clovers!
My job involves arranging quarantine for conservation workers heading to the predator free islands of coastal Fiordland. Preventing pathogens and pests reaching these special places is essential to the survival of rare birds such as kākāpō. In my spare time I study the Māori language, and make lino prints. My husband Paul is self employed. When not creating wonderful jewelry in his workshop on site, he is sailing his Ilur crusing dingy.
