Supporter Relations Team

I am honoured to be able to work with the amazing supporters who have already joined us on our pathway to hope, and my main mission is to support these donors in their commitment to funding research and also help raise awareness and get more people to join us all on this exciting journey. I’m frequently overwhelmed by the huge and steadfast funding from our many valued supporters and the truly inspiring and humbling stories of why people choose to support this important organisation. The research that’s underway and the long and impressive history of achievements by the researchers in New Zealand is brilliant, and I am grateful to be able to work with these clinicians and scientists and the skilled and dedicated team here at the Foundation.

When I’m not scratching my head trying to understand the incredibly complicated but fascinating research, I am passionate about getting to know our supporters and hearing their own stories, and sharing these with others so that more people can learn about our work and how they too can make a difference for the future. Overly partial to coffee and baked goods, bad jokes and cute cat videos, the team keeps me focused!

I joined the Neurological Foundation in 2018, and have since moved into the Gifts in Wills manager role. I have watched both my parents suffer from neurological conditions over the last 25+ years, so I am incredibly passionate about the research the Neurological Foundation funds thanks to our amazingly generous supporters. I have the privilege of connecting with our supporters every day, and hearing their reasons for supporting this groundbreaking research.

I am based in the beautiful Wairarapa with my husband Christian, and son Harry who is at high school. Our daughter Daisy is currently studying in Christchurch.  When I am not working, I play football, walk our two dogs, and try my luck at gardening.

Please reach out to me if you would like to have a chat about the impact you can make by supporting neurological research.

Caring for a loved one with a devastating disease was the most challenging but rewarding experience of my life.

Over those six years, I felt an overwhelming need to focus on a brighter future.

The Neurological Foundation’s values have provided the perfect fit.

I’m in awe of the life-changing impact our community makes by working together.

I’d love the opportunity to share a vision of hope by accelerating science to create a better future for your loved ones.

Please get in touch with me today.
