With 35 years’ experience working across the education, social services, public health and social development sector I bring knowledge of the family violence sector, operational management, and government contracting to the Muka Board.  I have lived in Hawke's Bay for nearly 30 years and have developed a wide range of networks locally and nationally.

I have three adult children, and three grandchildren. My husband and I enjoy travelling and when we can we are working through our bucket list of destinations - hopefully Peru next.  For a bit of balance I walk, do Pilates, read, and love to cook.

I look forward to contributing to Muka Whānau Services and supporting the amazing mahi they do.
