I am a born organiser. I love to design events - whether they are for work, friends, family or just for fun. I also love food, wine and interiors, so event management draws together all of these aspects for me. I enjoy working in a team or alone and have lots of experience of working across cultures, languages and distance. I relish a challenge and will work hard to get the right result...no matter what the obstacles are. I am practical and a safe pair of hands who never leaves a task unfinished. In my previous roles, as Asia and Australia Market Manager for New Zealand Winegrowers I have been privileged to work with some inspiring brands and with other dedicated event and marketing professionals both in NZ and overseas. My NZ Winegrowers role saw me designing and delivering large suites of events in multiple international cities over short periods several times a year - an intense but immensely rewarding time that meant using all my organisational qualities and problem-solving abilities to the max! I have also more recently been part of a very special volunteer movement in Playcentre - NZ's unique early childhood system where parent educators, committed to providing the very best early childhood experience for their tamariki, run their own early childhood centre - creating in a special village setting for children and adults to thrive in during their preschool years.
