My story
As a career development specialist based in the Waikato, I work with clients across New Zealand, helping them navigate their career journeys.
What has my journey towards a career in career development been like?
Like many people, I’ve experienced ups and downs throughout my own career path. It wasn’t until I sought guidance from a career development professional that I realized there was a way to map out a career that truly suited me.
What’s my “why”?
Today’s young people face immense pressure to have everything figured out for their futures. I’m passionate about walking alongside individuals on their journeys of career exploration, planning, transition, and decision-making. This passion is what motivates me every day—to discover innovative ways to help my clients achieve career clarity and confidence in their choices.
My Qualifications
While there’s always more to learn in this dynamic field, I am committed to providing exceptional service to my clients and setting them up for career success.
I hold a Master’s degree in Professional Practice (Career Development), specializing in adolescent career development. Additionally, I am a professional member of CDANZ and co-lead the Waikato branch of CDANZ.
To date, I have helped hundreds of adolescents gain career clarity and develop positive visions and goals for their unique journeys.
I’m excited to meet you and help you find your place in the world of work.
