Starting my Social Service journey in 2000 training as a Social Worker through Te Wananga Aotearoa in the Wairarapa, 22 years later I find my journey has brought me to the Manawatu.

Throughout my years within service, I have worked with in Mental Health, AOD Services and Disability Supports, recently moving from the Salvation Army in 2022 to methodist Social Services to look at the development of community services and to establish a supported model of food sustainability.

I am committed to the local community we serve and endeavour to bring services that achieve growth and personal development that will be sustainable past our supports.

I look very forward to the development of services and the growth within current services provided, I look forward to the opening of our Community Social Supermarket in August 2023 with the hope of supporting as many as we can during these tough times.
