Summary

I am an extremely experienced Senior Firefighter within FENZ who is highly motivated, hardworking and results orientated. I am great at coordinating and problem solving. I love a challenge and believe I have the necessary skills to effectively and confidently be your new Community Readiness and Recovery Advisor.

My experience within FENZ has given me the knowledge and insight so I clearly understand the challenges by our cultural communities within our organisation and our communities. I am a long standing member of Afi Pasefika and I am a strong, respected leader. I am focused on empowering others to succeed and grow as individuals and as a team.

I truly believe I can add value where we can focus on the delivery of strategic outcomes for our people and organisation.
