Biography

I’ve been working in the social services world for over 20 years, walking alongside young people, their whānau, communities and the people that support them.

I have a background in Social Work, Youth Work, Development Studies, and Social Service Supervision, providing direct client work, programme development and facilitation, project management and clinical supervision. Most recently, I have worked in the alcohol and drug and sexual wellbeing space.

I love working with people and communities to help create positive change where it’s needed most. My mahi is client- and community-led, strengths-based and designed to spark reflection, action and change.
I’m currently based in the Wairarapa with my partner, our small children, a dog, and some spirited chickens. I’ve spent a lot of my life travelling but always return to living in the Wellington region.
