I was formerly in the Manawatu- Feilding and Palmerston North, and formerly worked for Maori Affairs Department, Public Trust as a Trust and Estates Clerk, New Zealand Insurance. After that I went into real estate where I have worked for 31 years, first as a salesperson, then as a Branch Manager of a new firm starting up and expanding, Lethbridge Real Estate, and was Branch Manager of the Feilding, Marton and Paraparaumu offices, including starting rental departments in each of those offices. Then I obtained my Associateship status and started my own business in Palmerston North, which operated successfully until January 2009 when the lease was not renewed and I I moved to Auckland to be with family and have worked for Barfoot and Thomson in Panmure, Stonefields and now Pukekohe, as a salesperson Between my time in Panmure and Stonefields I worked for Ray White in Lunn Avenue, Mount Wellington for 2 years. I love it in Pukekohe and still play golf, at Waiuku near where I live at Glenbrook Beach.
