With 12 years of experience in property management, including eight with EVES, I bring both professional expertise and over 50 years of life experience to my role. While I hold a Diploma in Business, I’ve found that my most valuable skills have come from real life — especially from being a mother to two successful young men. These experiences have taught me the importance of clear communication, setting boundaries, and creating respectful relationships from the very beginning, helping tenants and landlords alike to meet expectations and enjoy positive outcomes.

My journey into property management began when I moved to Tauranga and accepted an administrative role in the field — and I quickly discovered my passion for problem-solving and helping people find the right home. Since then, I’ve embraced every aspect of the role and genuinely enjoy the variety and challenges that come with it. After working for smaller companies that lacked support, I found my professional home at EVES, where I value the team’s strength, security, and shared commitment to excellence.

I currently manage over 100 properties, including boarding houses with room-by-room tenancies, and I’m happy to work with any property that meets Healthy Homes standards. Landlords appreciate my reliability, observant nature, and ability to make sound decisions promptly. I focus on clear, timely communication and realistic timelines — and I make sure everything goes in my calendar to stay on top of it all!

Ongoing learning is important to me, and I regularly participate in EVES’ professional training and external training courses to stay current with legislation and best practices. Having lived in the Bay of Plenty for 19 years, I know the local market well. My family — including most of my grandchildren — are here, and my husband and I are active members of a local hotrod club, attending events both locally and nationally.

At the heart of it all, I simply love what I do. Property management allows me to combine people, problem-solving, and process — and that’s where I thrive. My goal is always to provide peace of mind through prompt responses, genuine care, and a balanced, professional approach that makes owning or renting a property as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
