8 Years of Business development experience. 4 Years experience in Tertiary education.

My experience in business started off working for Apple NZ then called “Yoobee” where I was the business development manager and education specialist. From there I have moved into education at Ara Institution of Canterbury specialising again in business development. I love my role as I have industry insight into what is needed and preferred for employment, at the same time I liaise and create opportunities through Ara for people to achieve those needs and wants. I am incredibly blessed to work for a Trust that supports the need of Pacific peoples.

5 years employed in Project Management (residential building & construction). 6 years as a Financial Adviser (2 years self-employed contractor, half a year as an employee and 3.5 years own company (current)).

Working as a Financial Adviser has made me realise the importance financial literacy plays for Kiwis in general but especially for our Pacific People. My passion is to see as many Pacific People into their own homes as I felt inspired hearing Sir Jerry Mateparae speak at the launch of Community Housing Trust in 2014: “Every Kiwi deserves their own turangawaewae - their own place to stand tall.”
