I began my working life as an occupational therapist and it’s only now that I fully appreciate how well this equipped me for my role at BDC. Building relationships, identifying problems and coming up with inventive solutions are great skills to have in any industry.

I am a certified practitioner of the HBDI whole brain thinking tool, hold a Commerce degree and have held management roles in the health and not-for-profit sectors. I’ve also lectured at Otago Polytechnic.

I’m the very proud mum of two beautiful, intelligent, strong young women but also enjoy the fridge being full again now that they have left home.  Living in Nelson means that I get to enjoy riding my mountain bike on the local forest trails followed by a dip in the sea on hot summer days. Pure luxury.
