She is very interested in learning about open communities (such as wikiEducator) and the best practices involved in maintaining the integrity of those communities and the information which they provide. She was trained as a Coastal Radio Operator for the NZ Post Office, offering communication services to ships and small vessels at sea via RT and Morse code. Later on after completing a Diploma in Multimedia and Web Development at EIT, Taradale, NZ,she was associated with EIT. An achievement, in 2001 - she was awarded the NZRHS Silver Medal for Valour http://www.royalhumanesociety-nz.com/files/Cases_Sept_1999_to_Aug_2003_1546_to1594_.pdf following an air accident in 1999.

She firmly believes that WikiEducator promote the ideal of freely available educational content, provide the forum (the wiki) and encourage users to make contributions, as well as facilitating the development of valuable skills based on collaborative learning and self acquired knowledge. It is this interaction and sharing that can be very empowering and for this reason an excellent online environment for someone who prefers to follow their own self determined path in areas of learning, development and growth.
