I have enjoyed an extensive career in both Addiction and Mental Health Services – mainly in leadership roles regionally, nationally and currently globally. For 5 years I was the Senior Advisor Addiction Treatment at the Ministry of Health where I believed I was “borrowed” from the sector to inform and lead a range of initiatives in partnership with the sector.
I am thrilled to be part of the Blueprint whānau to gift back knowledge and service-based experiences of the nature of addiction and the hope we hold for people. After all, “Addiction should be everybody’s business.”
I currently work as a consultant and also provide supervision. My base qualification is Social Work.
I live in Raglan and enjoy occasional paddle boarding and kayaking.
