As an experienced Financial Advisor with a demonstrated history of working in the financial services industry I love working with my clients to guide them to have the right insurance at the right time for the right reason.  My areas of focus are Life, Trauma and Income covers along with Health & Business insurance and retirement planning.

I started my working life with AMP in 1973 and became a Financial Adviser in 1990.  I have a Dip Bus in Financial Planning and Services from Massey University, am a member of Financial Advice New Zealand, an Authorised Financial Adviser and qualified Toastmaster.

With more than 40 years’ experience and a keen interest in ongoing education this gives me a thorough and up to date understanding of the industry and the products available to my clients. My personal experience claiming on the client side of health, trauma and income insurance gives me a strong sense of empathy for client’s experience and a full knowledge of the claims process.

When I am not working, I love spending time with my grandchildren, knife sharpening, mentoring of young toastmasters and exploring my neighbourhood.
