I love to see my clients succeed. Even more so when myself and Cuffs have played an integral part in their success. We have built a business on delivering expert advice, in plain English, and providing real service to our clients. Outside of work my wife Robyn and I are raising 2 school aged children, Liam and Olivia.  I am an enthusiastic member of the Hokitika Volunteer Fire Brigade, carrying on a family tradition passed down through many generations on both sides of my family and also enjoy a spot of fishing/whitebaiting when I find the time.

When relocating back to the West Coast to be with my partner an opportunity came up for me to do an apprenticeship at Cuffs. Out of work I am chasing after my 2 young children and spending time with my family and friends.  I love to play netball and basketball and enjoy most outdoor activities.

I'm a busy mum of two who returned to the Coast in 2005, when I decided to make the move home to bring up our two children.  When I'm not at work they keep me super busy with all their sport and activities, but I wouldn't have it any other way.  I also enjoy travelling and reading a good book.

After graduating from Canterbury University I worked for large multinationals while on my OE. On returning to New Zealand I channelled my career towards consulting roles in people capabilities on and off the West Coast. With husband Chris, we have three very active boys and a couple of family businesses. I now undertake contracts that work around our family in the not-for-profit sector.

I moved from South Africa to be with family that had settled in Hokitika.  I have 14 years' experience working in a range of accounting positions in South Africa.  In my spare time, I enjoy watching rugby, playing golf and travelling.

I have lived on the Coast for the past 11 years and are currently in the process of completing my certificate in Business Administration & IT.  Outside of work I enjoy playing netball and helping my parents on their dairy farm.
