Your most-outstanding achievement:
I am most proud of the balance I have maintained in my life which has allowed me to chase my dreams. Having completed 6 years of full time university, started my own business, picked up different hobbies every year and travelled too many countries including van trips across New Zealand, motorbike trips across Vietnam and sailing trips in the French Caribbean. I feel very lucky to have the privilege to be able to chase whatever goal I put in front of myself!
