Welcome

Kia Ora and welcome to the chasing dreams site. Born and raised in Invercargill, New Zealand, I was born with congenital Glaucoma which is where the journey begins.

Beta Reading

What sets me apart from other paid readers out there? I read with my ears using my screen reader. If there’s repetition, I’ll hear it. If the rhythm doesn’t sound right, I’ll notice that too.

Three years ago, our amazing rōpū were flying off to cycle the length of Aotearoa. Three years later, with the support of Manawanui’s Funds for Good, I'm preparing to have my series commercially narrated to be released on audible next year! Can't wait to share more about the process!
In the meantime, a throwback to what we all achieved over 19 days! Thanks to the support of so many, we raised nearly $30k for future blind athletes so that one day they can chase their dreams too. Through public speaking, this fund is still growing!
Ngā mihi tonu ki a koutou katoa. 😘😘😘
