PDs Stuff |

| PD Member Since: | Just over 2 years ago (it feels like forever!), I just had to join… Orange & Purple are my favourite colours |
| How I Got Into Paddling: | In a corporate dragon boat crew in NZ… can’t remember much of my first season tho – those days are a tequila induced haze! |
| Favourite PD Moment: | All of them… but at the moment watching our fabulous new paddlers enjoy their first paddling experiences on and off the water – it makes you realise what our club and sport is all about |
| Three words to describe PDs: | All the F Words! “Fantastic”, “Fun” and the best of “Friends” |

Other Stuff |
|
| Role Models, Heroes & Heroines: | Paddling wise Gav and Linda and also my Mum (god love her!) and anyone who has desire and passion to achieve their dreams and is willing to make it happen |
| When not paddling most likely to be found: | At the beach, Swimming, hanging out with friends – anything involving good food, good company, a few bevies and a good laugh (more often than not at my own expense). Wherever possible catching up on sleep! |
|
Three people you’d like to invite to dinner: |
Freddie Mercury, Robbie Williams and another cute boy to keep Freddie occupied! |
| Superstitions (Paddling or Otherwise): | My Bandana fetish is probably the closest thing to a paddling superstition… that and being punched by Claire-Dy before important races. Apparently it helps us win, I can’t help but think it’s a coincidence! |
