Born in Gore, I moved to Ashburton as a child, although have never quite lost the Southland accent. I have been at Croys Ltd since graduating from Lincoln University in 2002 with a Bachelor of Commerce with First Class Honours. I became a Chartered Accountant in 2005 and am now working part time after having my daughter Elliott (Ellie) in 2010.  My husband Steve is the Parts Manager at Claas Harvest Centre and is a volunteer fire fighter.  Outside of work you’ll find me busy at my other job of being Ellie’s mum or spending time with friends and my large extended family.
