I’m passionate about business and inspired by a challenge!

I grew up in the winterless North, moved to the Waikato to study, and never really left. I’ve called Cambridge home for the past 17 years, and it’s where I’m raising my two kids. It’s a special place, and I’m proud to be part of the community here.

I started my career in CA firms before heading into the agri-business world, first as an accountant inside a business and eventually into management and board roles. That experience gave me a real understanding of what running a business actually feels like — the cashflow worries, the pressure on your time, looking after your team, and trying to stay profitable. I get it because I’ve been there.

Coming back into CA was driven by a simple goal: to help business owners who don’t have an in-house accountant. After helping turn a business around, I saw just how much difference some clear insights and small shifts can make. Accountants view things through a different lens, and I love being able to use that to support people in business..

While I’m naturally focused on the detail, I’m driven by the bigger picture. I love helping business owners solve problems, make good decisions, and build something they’re proud of.

Community is a big part of who I am too. I’ve been chair of the Cambridge Town Hall Community Trust since it began in 2021, and I’m also a trustee for Cambridge Resthaven Community Trust. Both roles give me the chance to give back to the town I care so much about.
