Kia ora, I’m the Principal Consultant at WorkTheory, bringing 15+ years of HR leadership and expertise spanning New Zealand, Australia, UK, and USA. My career began in sales and customer service, building a strong foundation in operations and customer experience. Throughout my career, I have held a variety of roles, including leading Guest Relations, HR, and Learning & Development for a global corporation, and serving as the Chief People Officer for several years during a period of both growth and turbulence during and post COVID-19 with Sudima Hotels under Hind Management in New Zealand. In these capacities, I led award-winning hospitality initiatives, drove transformative organisational change, launched numerous new sites/ships and brands, and implemented new systems of work that supported successful growth and resilience.

My approach is dedicated to tackling complex workplace challenges, identifying pain points, and collaborating closely with founders, CEOs, leaders, and teams to understand their needs and turn insights into practical, cost-effective solutions that align with the business strategy.

As a Chartered Member of the Human Resources Institute of New Zealand (CMHRNZ) and an accredited DEI professional, I bring a strong ethical compass to my work. I specialise in governance, strategy, and fostering inclusive workplaces that deliver equitable and measurable results. As an MBA candidate at the Australian Institute of Business (AIB), I am deeply passionate about aligning people, purpose, and performance to create meaningful impact. Beyond my professional work, I volunteer as a mentor and chartering assessor for HRNZ, a proud mother of two awesome young people, I enjoy the local beaches of East Auckland, keeping fit and kayaking my local Tāmaki Estuary.
