My background includes extensive experience in family intervention, youth support, and addiction recovery—working across a range of environments from high-intensity treatment facilities to frontline support roles with vulnerable families.

Over the years, I’ve witnessed firsthand the toll that stress, burnout, and unmet emotional needs can take—not just on individuals, but on entire workplaces and family systems. This lived experience inspired the creation of Coastal Compass: a wellness support service designed to meet people where they are, offering down-to-earth, compassionate support that reaches beyond the individual and into the lives of their immediate families.

Today, my primary focus is partnering with employers to build healthier, more resilient teams—by providing tailored wellbeing services that support employees and their loved ones, enhance workplace culture, and ultimately contribute to stronger, safer, and more connected organisations.

I’m a registered nurse with 14 years of experience. In 2022, my family and I moved to New Zealand and made the West Coast our home. I love the friendly community, the natural beauty, and the relaxed lifestyle here while continuing to care for patients and be part of a supportive healthcare team.
