Where I’m From: Born in Invercargill, grew up in Howick, Auckland, lived in Whangarei for nine years and now a Wellingtonian for eight plus years. I’ve travelled extensively overseas, and love to travel, but am always happy to come home.
My Professional Background: I started my own business at 21, a second hand shop in Papakura. When I first moved up to Whangarei I was the owner/director of a Tractor and Machinery business. I built up a Property Management Department for a boutique real estate company and then went into sales. Since moving to Wellington, I have utilised my strong business background to build an extensive network in the field of executive recruitment.
Why I’m passionate about Professional Services & Corporate Talent Solutions at Beyond Recruitment: I see the Human Resources, Government & Policy, Finance, Procurement and Customer Experience people as some of the most engaging in the Wellington market. I lead a team who love meeting with candidates who are really making a difference out there and assisting them in progressing their careers. We also thrive on quality meetings with our clients, where we can gain a true understanding of what makes them and their team tick and how we can really make a difference by finding the right fit for their team. I believe that there is nothing more important to organisations, both private and public than their customer experience, being able to ensure that this is nothing less than exemplary for organisations, by placing exceptional people, is what makes my role truly worthwhile.
What not many people know about me: I was the President of the New Zealand Parrot Society for a number of years (yes, there is a NZ Society that focuses exclusively on parrots) and had a pet macaw.
What I love about Beyond Recruitment: Hands down, the people. They are an amazing, hard-working, passionate group of people, who also have a great sense of humour. Everyone comes to work, wanting to make a difference in people’s lives – they’re an inspirational bunch!!
What I love about New Zealand: I am at my happiest when I am experiencing the outdoors. I love biking and enjoy spending my weekends experiencing some of the fabulous scenery Wellington and New Zealand have to offer.
