My tribal affiliations are to Te Aupouri, Te Rarawa and Nga-Puhi-nui-tonu. I have a background in public health with my formative years spent in alcohol and drug education and generic health promotion. During the last 10 years as a public health consultant I have worked in various roles providing workforce development training and advice in public health. Working at Te Pou, within a kaupapa committed to health outcomes, has made my transition to mental health a challenging and rewarding experience.

Raised in Auckland I've recently returned to New Zealand after spending more than 10 years in London. While over in the 'big smoke' I worked in a number of roles within the investment banking world, most recently at Morgan Stanley. This was obviously just a sideline my real occupation - visiting art galleries, going to concerts and travelling to many interesting cities!

I am new to the mental health sector, and there is a lot to learn. I am lucky to have a dedicated, experienced and interesting team to learn from. I am glad to be part of an organisation who makes a difference to the well-being of New Zealanders.

In my spare time I can be found exploring Auckland on my new retro-style scooter...
