I hold a Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Arts from the University of Otago, majoring in Marketing and English. As a founding agent for Tall Poppy Real Estate thirteen years ago, I helped establish the brand across Auckland. I specialised in the sale of residential and high-value rural properties in South Auckland, working closely with vendors and purchasers to achieve outstanding results. Through this experience, I developed strong negotiation skills, a deep understanding of the property market, and a reputation for delivering a professional and client-focused experience.

I recently spent four years as MP Support for a senior, National, Cabinet Minister with multiple portfolios, providing constituent support, managing stakeholder relationships, and navigating complex issues with professionalism and discretion. Across all roles, I have built a reputation for strong communication, strategic thinking, and a genuine commitment to achieving positive outcomes.

I live on a lifestyle block with my partner and children, giving me a genuine appreciation for the rural lifestyle and the needs of those looking to buy or sell in these markets.
