With over two years of experience as a Work Supervisor for Kāinga Ora properties, I bring a strong foundation in housing and community engagement to my new role in Property Management. Joining Bayleys is an exciting step in a career path I’ve long aspired to, driven by my passion for building meaningful relationships and making a positive impact. As a proud Taranaki local, I’m passionate about helping others find their ideal homes in our region. I thrive under pressure, bring a proactive mindset to every challenge, and am committed to delivering the best possible outcomes for both landlords and tenants. I value continuous learning and take pride in staying informed to better serve my clients. Outside of work, I enjoy boxing, spending quality time with friends and family, and exploring creative side projects. I’ve raised a wonderful family and travelled the world as a nanny, experiences that have shaped my approachable and people-focused style. My personal brand reflects my values: “Turning dreams into homes, where every landlord and tenant matters. Real people, real connections, and making property management personal.”
