All of the courses I have completed over the years have been done via on-the-job training. Some of these courses included:

Communication & Presentation COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language) IT

Training Java, SQL & Oracle Training DBA (Database Administration) Training Specialised system training (IFCS, ClearPath,

BACS, AUDDIS, EXECL, Windows Project, LAUTRO, XEROX, IBM)

E X T R A C U R R I C U L A R

Having lived in a few different countries around the world, I have been lucky enough to visit many places and still like to travel when time permits.

Classical, Performance and Opera music are my favourite and in addition to singing in the National NZ Youth Choir, I trained as a Pianist and also learnt the Pipe Organ.

Another passion of mine is theatre, where I spent a great deal of time involved with local performing arts groups as both an actor and director.

Bridge is a favourite pastime, which I enjoy with friends, as well as walking to keep fit.
