A Wellingtonian at heart I holidayed in Taupō for over twenty-five years before making it my permanent home 14 years ago. In between living in Wellington and moving to Taupō my husband and I have been fortunate to have spent several years living in various countries like England, Dubai, and Istanbul. I started in real estate as a young mum with three children finding a way to have a job that I loved as well as time with my family. Now with over twenty-five years of selling and finding homes for clients I still get the same satisfaction as I did when I first started. Working with my clients and helping them through what can be a very stressful time, is important to me. I have always enjoyed working with people and throughout my career have been involved not only in Real Estate but management for several Charity organisations both in New Zealand and England. The last fourteen years, living in Taupō has given me a lot of pleasure. Being able give back to the community includes having worked with Taupō Hospice as a Trustee and Chair of the Fund-raising committee and run the Harcourts Food Bank for many years.
