Dedicated to supporting businesses, whānau and individuals realise and live to their full potential.   

As an experienced impact and system strategist, I see the value in working across the wider social, economic and environmental elements to support positive outcomes for our people, whānau and communities.  Having the ability to draw on my experiences in private business, community organisations and crown agencies, I am able to empathise with our communities about shifting the focus from working in silos towards working on the system. My background in psychology ensures that I continue to seek clarity through curiosity about what is truly important to our communities. I, along with the team, believe in putting our people, whānau and communities first to support the development of positive and enduring change.   

A super passionate researcher, designer and life long learner.

I am an experienced human-centred strategist, designer and change agent with a wealth of experience working as a consultant across multiple agencies as well as working in-house within large organisations. I have a strong passion for emphasising with and understanding people, their needs, what drives them, and how this then plays out in their everyday experiences. By putting people and their needs at the heart of everything I do I am able to deliver valuable and actionable insights, strategies and outcomes that create meaningful, positive and lasting change.

Having recently relocated back down to my hometown Whanganui, the perfect opportunity presented itself being able to finally merge my professional expertise with my passion for people and the broader Whanganui rohe by joining the Impact Collective team – this is a journey I am incredibly excited to embark on.

I’m a researcher, strategist and innately curious thinker, who combines several years of industry experience with wellbeing training to explore, connect, and create new possibilities that drive positive change. Over the years, my vision has remained the same; to create a world that fosters equity and connection, where individuals can thrive as whole beings, regardless of their background.

By empathising deeply, working collaboratively, and caring wholeheartedly, my mahi (work) strives to connect with experiences, uncover hidden strengths, and empower people to be the leaders of their own change. Through shared vision and collective action, I believe we can achieve positive change that reaches far beyond individual wellbeing to the wellbeing of our community.

As an experienced researcher with a passion for community engagement, I am privileged to use community voices and lived experiences to shape the transformative work we do at the Impact Collective. 

By actively listening to the community and their needs in all aspects of my work, I am able to provide valuable insights, strategies, and outcomes. These contributions not only align with my personal values but also resonate with the collective goals of our team. 

Dedication to equity and well-being is at the heart of what we do, guiding us as we strive to create empowering, meaningful and sustainable impact in the communities we serve.

I’m a cinematographer based in Whanganui. My craft has allowed me to travel over Aotearoa and the world shooting for a range of govt organisations, SME’s, NGO’s, brands and individuals.

I have a passion for telling stories that bring positive change to people, communities and organisations. I love the place I call home, it’s my place of belonging and I feel privileged being connected to the whenua and the people.

As a senior graphic designer based in Palmerston North with over 10 years industry experience, I enjoy the challenge of telling stories visually and have been privileged to have undertaken a wide-ranging scope of work within various companies throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.

It has been great to be able to apply all of the skills learnt from those endeavours into the exciting future opportunities and mahi as a part of the Impact Collective Team.
