I grew up in a small farming town up north, on a 200 acre dairy farm. I love my family, crafting, miniatures, gardening, spending time with friends and my professional network … and I am proud of my extensive gin collection.

I’ve been a Chartered Accountant for 28 years and have been made a Fellow of Chartered Accountants of Australia and New Zealand.  I've had a variety of accounting and finance roles with the likes of Lion Breweries, Air New Zealand and DairyNZ, both here and in London. I have managed and mentored a lot of people for many years.

I am busy and thrive on being busy! I am a school Board trustee, Chair of the Chartered Accountants of Australia and NZ (CAANZ) Local Committee, a Business Mentor for Business Mentors New Zealand, a Chartered Member of the Institute of Directors, a certified organisational coach and a member of the Institute of Executive Coaching and Leadership. 

I am a trustee with Progress to Health and I also manage and direct OptiFi Business Solutions with my business partner, David Evans.

I have left the stress and routine of the corporate world to follow my dreams, work for myself and help others to thrive.

I’d love to chat.
