I’m married to Tony and have three adult children and three grandchildren.

I have been involved with the House Next Door since 2017, initially working behind the scenes to help get the House up and running. Before this, I worked at Massey University predominantly as a Process/Business Analyst for 19 years. In 2021 I left Massey and was appointed Office Manager/Administrator of the House Next Door. At the end of 2022, the previous HND Manager resigned, and I took up the management position.

My role includes being responsible for the day-to-day management of all Trust activities and programmes, oversight of our staff and volunteers as well as funding and reporting.
I really enjoy working for an organisation that has such a holistic approach to community health. The House Next Door provides me with the opportunity to support people spiritually, physically, mentally and relationally.

For me, being part of the Trust is not just a job, it’s a lifestyle, working together with a group of dedicated staff and volunteers to make a difference in our community.
