Passionate and results-driven professional with over 25 years of experience in local and central
government, dedicated to shaping a better future through the convergence of diverse perspectives
and ideas. My commitment lies in addressing complex socio-geopolitical issues by bringing
together diverse individuals, synthesising concepts, and implementing holistic solutions.
My journey is marked by intentional choices, opting for National Certifications over traditional
university education to gain practical knowledge while ascending through the ranks.
Complementing this with a Graduate Diploma in Business with a major in Management from
Massey University, I have fortified my extensive experience with a strong academic foundation.
As an artist and freelance photojournalist, I leverage visual arts and storytelling to unearth the
untold human stories within our intricate world. This passion fuels my desire to spark conversations
that lead to social change. The ability of visual arts and storytelling to express inventive ideas and
foster a deeper understanding of our collective human experience resonates with my commitment to
creating positive impacts.
Driven by values and purpose I will actively seek community, challenge the status quo with respect,
and focus on possibilities. My contagious enthusiasm for new ideas, people, places, and activities
has consistently contributed to my success in fostering positive change and building thriving
communities.
I am poised to bring my unique blend of leadership, public service, strategic acumen, and creative
vision to future endeavours, dedicated to making a lasting impact on the people and places I serve.More...
