I did various other work, I enjoyed travelling the world with global stage production for some of the biggest music stars in the industry. I did another stint as scaffolding I enjoyed the danger of climbing and the planning aspect of installations.
In 1999, I became the director of Face to Face Communications NZ Ltd, I found that I was good at managing large volumes of field workers contracted to Electoral Enrolment Commission Contract face to face campaigns leading up to general elections. This was contract work to the NZ Government. I developed leadership skills, managing people, venues and coordination corporate organizations while working in tandem with nationwide media campaigns.

"the Adventure of China begins"
2011, I traveled to China on invitation of good friend, she introduced me to culture and I travelled by myself an adventure I really enjoyed, so each year I would travel China 3-4 times, that in 2015 I decided to move to China for a international experience. During my travels I was embedded into local community and learnt a lot about the history, family values, the Chinese thinking that one day I opened Dracon International Trade NZ Ltd.
Combining my NZ experience with my China travel experience I fell into opportunity of building a trade platform for businesses to go direct China supply. I am able to merge China manufacturing to clients all over the world.
