biography
Prior to working in health in New Zealand I worked for several years in
the UK and Australia within community based organisations mainly in the
area of employment programmes and disability. I have been working on
the 'Like Minds, Like mine,' project for five years and in health in
New Zealand for ten years in a range of roles in communication and
project management. I have a strong interest in evaluation and research.
I was born in Wellington and grew up in a family of seven children. I
have two children of my own who keep me busy outside of my work.
