Tyler graduated from The University of Adelaide, South Australia in 2019.

She has thoroughly enjoyed exploring every corner of NZ from north to south, but local experiences here in Auckland have been just as memorable. In her spare time she enjoys all things active from swimming, skiing, hiking and boxing; but a quiet night in with a new sewing project can be just as good.

Catherine graduated from Massey University in 2020 and has since moved to the big smoke from the mighty Waikato.
