As a fairly creative person, who has spent many years in the word of Interior Design, Makeup Artistry and some time in the fashion industry, I love to spend some free time taking heirloom pieces of furniture, or older pieces and re-making them into something new with fresh paint, transfers, gold foil and waxes etc. It brings them back to life and gives joy both to myself and to others.

I have a passion for books and am an avid collector. I especially have a love of history and while tutoring at the Christchurch Polytechnic as a Tutor in the Interior Decor Course, I was asked to rewrite the whole section of Art & Architectural History which was the longest and most complex subject of the course. This subject took 2 full years to complete where the students went through every architectural style and age in history and the link to interiors through each period. My passion is for the classics and I loved researching, planning and writing the whole curriculum for this module.

I also have a great love of travel and have been to many places in the world. I particularly love sun, surf & sand and enjoy holidays in the sunnier climates of the world where culture can be diverse and there are interesting and exciting things to do where adventure awaits. I enjoy things that involve a bit of adrenaline (and speed) and enjoy motorsport in particular.

I left school having completed a special year where I focused on Secretarial Studies and graduated as the top student of my year. I am an excellent typist, very organised and have excellent customer skills which is attested to from many client testimonials that I have achieved in my years as a Real Estate Consultant. I am excellent at communication, have exceptional skills at negotiating and am known for going the extra mile with my clients. I went on to work for many years in secretarial, administration roles as well as being Personal Assistant to the Secretary of the National High School Board of Governors which was based in Napier as well as PA to various other companies throughout New Zealand, including my business alongside my husband.

Real Estate has taught me many things - including being resilient as it can be a challenging industry to work in and also where hours worked can be extreme - often 7 days a weeks (and nights) as well as weekends. I have been very successful as a Real Estate Consultant and have worked with a fantastic, dedicated team of peopel as well as some amazing people that I have met over the years.
