Meet the team

Born and bred in the Hutt Valley, I enjoy helping people and making a difference in our community. My role in the Fundraising Team is to organise and manage our events . Prior to starting at the hospice I was involved in fundraising by opening my home for the 10 Tables Christmas Tour. Through this involvement I learnt what an amazing place Te Omanga is and experienced the passion so many people have for it.  Te Omanga truly is a very special place and plays such a huge part in our community.

It’s a great privilege to work to raise funds that support the patients Te Omanga Hospice cares for. The generosity of the Hutt Valley community can be at times humbling and always inspiring.

I have a background of fundraising for national and international organisations so it’s great to bring that experience to support my local community. My role is to manage the varied and different ways Te Omanga Hospice raises the funds it needs to ensure the service remains free of charge for all who need it.

None of the care and support provided by Te Omanga can happen without the generosity of its supporters.

I’m super excited to have joined Te Omanga Hospice to look after our Regular Giving programme.

Our Regular Giving programme allows our loyal donors to support our increasing number of patient referrals, help continue to offer a full range of therapies and services, and allow our organisation to plan for the future. My role also includes managing our data base and applying for grants.

I have worked as a Fundraiser for the last 3 years, after previous careers in University Libraries and the book industry. Helping worthy causes to do good in the world feeds my soul and is such an invaluable privilege. I’ve been blown away by the kindness and heart of the Te Omanga Hospice team and the exceptional care they provide to the patients and families. It is undoubtedly a truly special organisation.

Please contact me if you would like to discuss giving to Te Omanga on a regular basis.
