I immigrated from South Africa 15 years ago but feel like I’m born and bred Taranaki at times. Leaving behind a fast paced Stock Broking Industry in South Africa, I spent the first couple of years in NZ founding, growing and selling a web based company. Buying, developing and selling a couple of properties, and combining my passion for animals and my need for flexible hours by running my own dog grooming “hobby” business for the last 7 years. The hobby business eventually got too busy and there was no time to dedicate to any actual hobbies!!!

Having spent a couple of years in Real Estate early on in my career, and being involved in property as a developer, renovator, purchaser and investor, I always wanted to get back into Real Estate when the circumstances allowed. With two teenage boys who compete in both Swimming and Surf Life Saving at a National level, life is busy but, it is now time for me to return to a dynamic work environment. I very recently qualified as a registered Salesperson in June of this year so am certainly new to the Industry and have a lot to learn. I’m eager and excited to learn from and support some of the best in the industry at First National Taranaki.
