Board Member
My eldest son (with dyslexia and slow processing speed) is currently benefiting from SPELD NZ services with a weekly teacher who has been hugely beneficial for his confidence, as well as his academic results.
I am an experienced corporate lawyer and have worked in large and small corporates, law firms and the public sector. I have wide ranging experience in media, contract, commercial, IT, intellectual property and financial services law.
I was on the Campbells Bay School Board for nine years (including three years as Chairperson) bringing a future focus, providing policies and legal advice, considered and quick decision making and analytical and problem-solving skills.
I have a strong focus on enabling the companies I worked for to achieve their strategic goals, often with the use of technology and an innovation mind-set. I bring this mindset and my legal/analytical skills to the board table. I also bring a passion for ensuring that children and young people can achieve their learning goals by having equitable access to the tools and resources needed to reach those goals.
I enjoy keeping fit via Pilates, walking in the sunshine and some sporadic gym sessions. I love watching and getting involved in my boys’ sports (water polo and football) and socialising with friends and family.
