I come from a background of Hospitality and Business Management. After completing my degree in Wellington straight out of high school, I made the move back to Whangamata to live in the family bach and found my feet in the hospitality industry working during the summer months, while traveling the world in the winter months.

Me and my family have been coming to Whangamata for the last 30 years and I have lived here permanently now for the last 7 years with my partner, and we have recently had our first child. I have worked in real estate for 3 of those 7 years and prior to that worked in management positions within the hospitality industry. Within the hospitality industry, I made a name for myself by being a reliable, driven, people person, with great communication skills and a strong understanding of online marketing, running multiple social media pages for local businesses. A lot of skills which transferred over into the real estate Industry when I made the change.
