Nikki Patten
What do you love about Forbes? The biggest asset is the lake. It’s always a hive of activity with walkers, skiers and everyone you meet there is friendly.
What are your hobbies? I love sport and play netball, basketball and touch. I am passionate about all children having access to a loving, happy and caring environment, stimulating learning opportunities and education.
Who inspires you? Pinky Mckay or Petrea King. Pinky Mckay is an author of gentle parenting advice books. Petrea is the CEO and founder of the Quest for Life Foundation and inspires cancer sufferers.
Describe your dream holiday: As the children get older I would like to trek through Nepal, and possibly climb Mount Everest as a family.
What is the biggest change you would like to see in the world? Peace, peace, peace – starting with treating your neighbours with respect and kindness with the hope that it will cause a ripple effect.
