What prompted you to become so involved in voluntary groups?
It just feels really good to give back to the community and I just like getting involved in lots of extra-curricular activities.
How did you feel when you won the award?
I actually didn't expect it. I wasn't expecting to be nominated. I was quite surprised when they called my name.
What is the best part about doing volunteer work?
I would say it's meeting new people and making new friends. There's always so many giving and generous people who come to these events, and they are lovely to talk to.
What do you love most about Rotorua?
Since I was born in Korea I was used to living in a big city. Rotorua's really nice, it's such a small area and everyone knows everyone. If you go to all these different events you'll most likely see the same people.
