Sharon says...

"Living and working in Christchurch provides me with plenty of outdoor opportunities. It's close to the mountains for skiing, climbing and tramping and there is a fabulous outdoor culture in Christchurch for triathlon and multi-sport.

"Allied Telesis provides a nice working environment and there are great people to work with. The work is both exciting and ever-changing."
