She is driven by the passion and dedication of the rugby league community, and she feels thankful our sport has so many great volunteers from club to through to representative levels.

She feels lucky to have seen so many players and officials achieve their dreams, coming through the grades  to shine at the highest level.  The very best thing though, is seeing our tamariki with big smiles on their faces when they play our great game.
