I have 26 years experience in the financial, HR, H & S, sales and marketing, and public relations aspects of the sports, fitness and recreation industry.I have 11 years experience in the Education sector as an elected member of a school Board; 8 of these as Chairperson. I am Chair of the Auckland Regional Executive Board of the NZ School Boards Association. I sit on the National Advisory Group for ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages), the Secondary Qualifications Advisory Group (SQAG) and the Quarterly Education Discussion Group led by the Auckland Primary Principals Association.I am the founder and coach of a running club for children, and I have derived a huge amount of satisfaction from this over the last 14 years. I featured on TVNZ’s ‘Goodsorts’ Programme in July 2020, in recognition of my contribution to children's health and fitness in my community. I also lead bootcamps and fitness sessions for children. My own love of running has seen me complete 103 half marathons, as well as the Great Wall of China Marathon. In 2022/23 I was able to combine my commitment to the education and physical wellness of our tamariki, with their mental health through a wonderful role with The Resilience Project, focusing on their curriculum for schools. I also led The Resilience Project's Workplace Program, supporting wellbeing at the preventative end of NZ's Mental Health Crisis. Sadly The Resilience Project, an Australian based company were unable to maintain their presence in NZ and the role came to an end. I am now incredibly fortunate to be working with the FrontTier team who have many years of experience providing Resilience Training and Leadership Coaching in the corporate space. I am delighted to be able to return to schools to support the wellbeing of Principals and all staff.Skills and Attributes:-Public speaking and presenting-Coaching and mentoring-Change management-Relationship management-Sports and Fitness industry knowledge-Education sector knowledge-Governance experience-Strategic thinking-Problem solving-Financial/Accounting literacy-Risk management-Conflict resolution-Workplace health and safety-Stakeholder management-Not-for-profit experience and understanding-Systems and process improvement-Highly organised and efficient-Strong written and verbal communicationI am enthusiastic, energetic, and motivated to always achieve the best possible outcomes for all stakeholders.
