What I like about my work

I enjoy client contact and I like to take a problem and solve it in a way that best meets the needs of clients.  I enjoy the fact that my work is dynamic and provides new challenges and ongoing opportunities to learn and develop professionally.

What I’ve done in the past

I started my career in Wanganui where I worked for 3 years in the Crown Solicitor's Office.  I then went on my OE and worked for Westminster City Council in London for 2 years in enforcement and planning and development.  In 2003 I returned to New Zealand and joined Anderson Lloyd.

My approach to working with my clients

I am professional, friendly and I like to keep an open line of communication with clients and work with them to achieve their goals. 

What I enjoy at work

I enjoy the team focus.  There is a range of knowledge and professional experience within the team. Everyone shares their expertise to ensure the best possible advice and outcomes for our clients, and the environment is a very supportive one. 

What I enjoy outside of work

I still have a travel bug and love to travel widely throughout NZ and overseas. 

I belong to a book club and am a Rotarian involved in many voluntary youth and community projects, for instance constructing a walking track at Orokonui Ecosanctury.

What I enjoy about living in the South Island

I am a born and bred Dunedinite and I am proudly one-eyed about the South Island!  The people here are so grounded, genuine and open.  It is a stunning and scenic island and has many fantastic getaway locations.
