I grew up, studied and got married in South Africa. I was later admitted as a lawyer and conveyancer in the High Court of South Africa which was followed by more than 13 years legal experience in South Africa. Then in 2008 my family and I immigrated to New Zealand. For the first seven years in New Zealand I have been working for a prominent law firm in New Zealand who specialise in New Zealand Immigration law. I have held my own immigration portfolio for several years at the aforementioned employer. Towards the middle of 2015 I sat and passed all the required papers (A+ average) to meet the Immigration Advisers Authority's licencing requirements. On 31 August 2015 I joined Greenstone Global as a fully licenced Immigration Adviser. I brought immigration experience and a particular skill set to Greenstone Global which contributes and adds value to our clients' immigration experience. I have recently been invited onto the Immigration Advisers Authority reference group for 2016, where I hope to make a valuable contribution to the Adviser industry.
