Connecting Talent With Great Businesses

With over 15 years in Recruitment, HR and Sales, I’ve built my career around leading, mentoring, and connecting people to opportunities that genuinely make a difference. I’ve worked across both corporate and boutique environments, specialising in permanent and temporary placements and I love that no two days are ever the same. Whether it’s helping a client secure their next standout hire or supporting a candidate in landing their dream role.
Recruitment isn’t easy, but that’s what makes it exciting. It’s a blend of strategy, people understanding, relationship-building, and problem-solving; finding solutions that work for everyone.
I’m passionate about helping businesses recruit, manage, and retain exceptional people and I take just as much pride in mentoring and inspiring others to grow in their careers.

In my spare time, I could say I enjoy walks on the beach and looking at the stars…but I am a realist, I’m far more likely to be enjoying a well-earned dram or two. I’m a long-time Crusaders rugby supporter and have been since they first hit the field in 1996 and I’m actively involved in supporting charities and community initiatives that make a lasting impact.
Purpose, people, and progress. These are what drive me forward.

Originally from South Africa, I joined the recruitment world in 2021 and now specialise in the Manufacturing, Warehouse, and Logistics sectors. Over the years, I’ve developed a real niche in these industries, understanding what makes teams tick and what it takes to find the right talent that drives results.
I’m passionate about building lasting relationships with both clients and candidates, taking the time to truly understand what each side needs. For me, recruitment isn’t just about filling a role; it’s about finding the perfect fit that supports long-term success.
I often see recruitment a bit like a marriage, you can’t just say “I do” and hope for the best. It’s about creating partnerships built on trust, communication, and understanding.
I have a knack for finding those “impossible-to-find” candidates for hard-to-fill roles, the kind that others might overlook. That challenge is where I thrive, and nothing is more rewarding than seeing a placement turn into a long-term success story for both the client and the candidate.

Outside of the office, I’m an early riser who genuinely enjoys kicking off the day with a workout, whether that’s a spinning class or a sweaty HIIT session at the gym. There’s something about that early-morning workout that clears my head and sets a positive tone for the day. Plus, it means my afternoons are free to relax after work, spending time with my husband, and enjoying some much-needed downtime.
On the weekends, you’ll almost always find me outdoors soaking up the beautiful scenery of the country we now get to call home. Coming from South Africa, a weekend isn’t complete without a good braai (BBQ)! Food is definitely my love language, and I’m forever on the hunt for new restaurants, local food spots, and hidden gems. I have a bit of a superpower for sniffing out the best food deals and shopping specials, so if there’s a discount somewhere, I’ll probably know about it first.
When I’m not exploring or eating my way through town, I’m happiest at home with a glass of wine in hand, our two Ragdoll cats curled up nearby, and either a good thriller book or a true crime documentary on. It’s the perfect way to unwind and recharge before diving into another busy week.

I’m a Senior Recruiter and expert in the Building, Civil, and Trades sectors, with over a decade of hands-on experience in recruitment.

I take a practical, people-first approach to connecting the right people with the right opportunities, helping individuals advance their careers and businesses to build strong, reliable teams.
Known for being honest, approachable, and dependable, I pride myself on getting things done without fuss and always following through.
I listen carefully, ask the right questions, and take the time to understand what success looks like for both candidates and clients.
Whether you're hiring or job-hunting, you’ll find me generous with my time, thoughtful in my advice, and genuinely committed to achieving the best outcome for you.

Outside of work, I’m a proud New Zealander who values family, community, and a good dose of healthy competition.
Most mornings start in the gym with my two sons - and while they may have youth on their side, I still make sure to lift that little bit more to keep them on their toes.
Evenings are often spent walking our two dogs around the neighbourhood - a routine that doubles as a great way for my wife and I to catch up and unwind from the day.
Weekends? You’ll likely find me cheering from the sidelines at a local rugby game or yelling at the TV during a test match - rugby or league, doesn’t matter, as long as there’s a Kiwi team involved. Born and bred in Dunedin, I’ll back any team from my hometown and just about any sport where New Zealand's got skin in the game.
I enjoy a good get-together, love being social, and never say no to a party with great people and even better music. And after a couple of drinks, I’m not shy about belting out a tune or two - no genre is off-limits. Let’s just say my playlist is as unpredictable as my dance moves.

As a Recruitment Consultant at VIPeople Staffing and Recruitment, I specialise in recruiting for Office support and Sales roles across New Zealand. With over three years of experience in the recruitment industry, I have developed strong skills in relationship building, project planning, and sales. I am passionate about providing recruitment solutions that meet the needs of both the candidates and the business. In my spare time you will generally find me with my kindle in hand or working in the garden.

My goal is to connect talented individuals with rewarding job opportunities and help businesses find the right talent to drive their success.
