Meet The Team

I have been involved in Financial Mentoring since 2010, first as a budget advisor and Financial Mentor. I have been manager at Hamilton Budgeting Advisory Trust since 2017. I spent 30 years in the Fire Service in London before moving to New Zealand. I also spent 5 years as a volunteer Ambulance Officer with St John New Zealand and qualified as an EMT.

I became a financial mentor in 2023 after a lengthy career in the health service both in New Zealand and Australia.

I have been a Financial Mentor since 2016 and have background knowledge in banking, advertising and small business.

I enjoy the great outdoors, and love supporting the community to work with their Finances. I have previously been involved in MoneyMates delivery to young adults.

I have been a Financial Mentor since 2010 and it gives me satisfaction in assisting clients to better their financial position. Every client is different and so is the solution – these can include an Insolvency option, contacting creditors to re- negotiate payments, completing budgets, Kwisaver hardship withdrawals and many others.

Prior to becoming a Financial Mentor, I had 38 years banking experience and I feel this background assists me in dealing with clients.

Outside of work my interests include outdoor bowling and enjoying time with our grandchildren.
