About Me

“I am a Dance Movement Therapist, with 10 years experience working in the disability sector. Over the last 3 years, I have taken the notes, and done the secretary role (though not elected) on the board of a small Not for profit disability organisation in Auckland. We recently implemented BoardPro, so I have an understanding of this program. I would like to gain more experience at the governance level as it is something I am passionate about. I have a good understanding of profit and loss and a basic understanding of Funding, HR, and Systems implementation. I believe being active and supporting play in our communities is essential for community resilience. I am a strong advocate for upstream interventions in health, and equity. I believe that sustainable outcomes in organisation's rise from good foundations. It is the role of governance to help stabilise the foundations from which an organisation can grow. I'm not a driver of change, for change's sake. I believe well managed change should be strategic and proactive. As Tangita Tiriti, I take my responsibilites seriously in upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi. ”
