Summary
With extensive experience in property management and real estate, I bring a strong background in overseeing facilities and ensuring compliance with regulations. My recent role as a Property Procurement Specialist involved managing contracts, coordinating with contractors, and ensuring properties met high standards of maintenance and efficiency. I have a proven track record from my time at Proppy.co.nz, where I handled property inspections and client negotiations, and as a Director/Founder, where I managed budgets and daily operations. These experiences have equipped me with the skills to effectively manage facilities, maintain high standards, and deliver exceptional service.
