I grew up in Auckland and, from 2014-2021, worked as a physiotherapist in a special needs school.

I started volunteering at the House Next Door shortly after moving to Palmerston North at the start of 2022. After a couple of months, I was offered a part-time job and certainly did not have to think twice about saying yes! I have found this to be a beautiful, encouraging, exciting, supportive, and healthy environment. More than that, I have been given the privilege of using my gifts and expertise in this place, to support other people, and to help them grow and know more of the life and love God offers us.

My role includes oversight of the Ladies Exercise Class as well as the 55+ Strength and Balance classes. Like all the employees, I help out at the after school and holiday programmes as well as with mentoring, youth groups, and supporting youth with their education.

It is a real delight and honour to be involved in the House Next Door community and the positive change that is happening in so many lives.
