Summary

A born and bred Waikato girl, with a passion for my community. Having received the opportunity to attend some of Hamilton's best schools and to then continue my education at the University of Waikato I am a firm believer in all things Waikato. With a background in sales, marketing and drive to create positive and genuine relationships with all people I interact with, I have been able to establish my current career move by setting up my own business in real estate. My passion for helping others and seeing others succeed both personally and professionally is what motivates me each day.
