Summary
I am a 'take-charge' professional, delivering strong team leadership skills, while engaging as a valued team member. Dependable and detail-oriented to manage multiple tasks and priorities. Broad experience includes executive, office, and staff management. Recognised for exemplary customer service and team collaboration, I consider myself to be reliable, confident, and responsible, with an outgoing personality. My ability to communicate in English and Te Reo Māori provides a unique ability to engage in tikanga (correct cultural practices) empathetically with all age groups and diverse backgrounds.
