Our Staff

I joined the fantastic BayTrust family in February 2015 after spending two years as CEO of Rotorua International Airport and previously holding senior commercial roles in Air NZ.  My family and I moved from Auckland down to the Bay of Plenty in 2013 and I now reside in Arataki which is between the Mount and Papamoa and within walking distance of the ocean.  I have a huge amount of passion for the Bay of Plenty and truly believe it is one of the best places in the world to raise a family.  BayTrust has played a meaningful role in the Bay of Plenty over the last 30 years and I look forward to continuing this tradition and taking the organisation to the next level in the future.  Please feel free to contact me on any issues or opportunities at any time.

I joined the Trust team in July 2009. Born and raised in Tauranga, I have two adult sons and four lovely grandchildren. My formal training includes accounting and business development with my background and experience being Office Management & Administration.  My interests include family, travel and new and interesting challenges. Many years ago, I started volunteering in the community and continue to do so today – “one of the greatest gifts you can give is your time”.

I have lived in beautiful Tauranga since 2014 and feel privileged to have been part of the wonderful BayTrust whānau since June 2018. My background is in community psychology, strategic planning and evaluation, and I have over the last 30 years worked in the not-for-profit, private and government sectors, from grassroots to EU level. I have supported various organisations over the years in both hands-on and governance roles and continue to enjoy and see value in this work. I have two boys, cats, dogs, chickens and fish, love science fiction books and movies, vege gardening and anything nature related which is why I absolutely believe the Bay of Plenty is the best place to be!

I joined the BayTrust team in June 2021. I graduated with a Bachelor of Management studies and a Diploma in Te Tohu Paetahi at the University of Waikato. I have worked in many different industries with various types of roles and now set my sights on the Bay of Plenty. I love good banter, including but not limited to comparing philosophies, ideas, concepts and perspectives. I am really excited to add value to the team and the Bay of Plenty community.
