I live in Whangarei. I am an RN and have been a Public Health Nurse for 14 years.
My husband Allen and I have 3 adult children. Our youngest are twins; our son Rowan works in IT and his sister Troi is an RN also.
Our twins are both married and we have 5 grandchildren.
Our eldest daughter Erin works for Northland Health in an administrative role which she has enjoyed for almost 20 years. She happens to have Down Syndrome.
