Waikato has always felt like home. I grew up on a farm in Pukeatua and attended Te Awamutu College before my family moved to the Bay of Plenty when I was in my early teens. I returned to the Waikato about 10 years ago, and my husband and I recently bought a property in Te Awamutu. It’s lovely to be back in such a beautiful, welcoming town.

My interest in property began early: I built my first home in my early twenties. Since then, I’ve bought, built and renovated homes in both the Bay of Plenty and Waikato, and built a small rental portfolio. Along with eight years in real estate, that experience gives me a personal and investor’s perspective on property. I use it to help clients make informed decisions and feel supported at every step.

I’m passionate about helping people through their property journeys. I especially enjoy supporting first-home buyers as they take their first steps towards owning a home, and helping families find a place they can call home for years to come.

Outside work, I enjoy gardening, baking, travelling, going to gigs to watch my husband perform and spending time with my adult children and granddaughter. At the moment, much of my spare time is going into landscaping our section. I find it rewarding to give a bare section personality and colour.

I look forward to being a part of the Bayleys team, helping people with their property journeys and becoming part of the Te Awamutu community.
