"Having grown up in an active household, I have always had a love of physical activity, sport and adventure. Over the years, I have competed in netball, squash, tennis, swimming, rowing, CrossFit and Olympic Weightlifting. Outside of sport, I love the outdoors. Any opportunity I have to explore the remoter parts of Aotearoa, on foot, a bike, or in a canoe, I grab a hold of. New experiences have always been key for me, and I have scratched this itch with active recreation.

That 'feel good' feeling after getting up a good sweat, or smashing a PB is absolutely what has me coming back for more. I love the mental, social, and physical gains that come from partaking in sport and other forms of movement. Without fail, I feel livelier, clearer, and happier after."

Erin helps build teacher confidence, challenge current thinking and practice, and provide teachers with the tools to use physical education, sport and physical activity as a vehicle to drive greater wellbeing/hauora outcomes for tamariki. She supports school leaders and teachers to better plan and implement the Health and Physical Education and Hauora Curriculum, identifying, developing and supporting opportunities for quality physical activity experiences for tamariki wellbeing.
