Supporting the teams here and overseas

I joined the team at 40 Foot in 2021, coming from the education industry with over a decade’s experience. It was there working as a teacher, head teacher, and visiting teacher in Early Childhood Education that I picked up my strong interpersonal skills.

The foundation of it all is my desire to get to know others, building a relationship and getting to know what makes people tick. This is the first step in understanding their needs and expectations, whether they’re clients or candidates. 

I’m one of those highly-organised, creative types, and I love problem-solving and finding creative solutions to challenges.

This creative side comes out in my spare time, when I’m hosting friends’ events, or discovering a new, creative hobby.

I’m living in Auckland at the moment with my partner, and we love to go on adventures with our Border Collie, she sure keeps us on our toes.
