What does your role involve?
As a Stakeholder Relationship Manager I engage with a diverse group of people such as community groups, local businesses and local residents in order to support the delivery of new homes, infrastructure and amenities coming to the neighbourhood. I have found that giving people the opportunity to be heard and involved often leads to more positive outcomes.

What do you enjoy most about your job?
Working with diverse people, seeing many happy faces moving into lovely, new, warm homes.

What do you love most about the Waikōwhai community? 
A lot of friendly whānau, lots of children playing around the neighbourhood and old homes being replaced by new, dry, warm homes.

What were you doing previously?
I was previously a Funding and Contracting Employee with Te Whānau o Waipareira Trust and supporting Pacific Island Businesses with Government Adaptation Grants to help them survive through the COVID Pandemic.

What do you like doing outside of the office?
I love dining and dancing. I enjoy catching up with friends and whānau, travelling and trying new things.
