I was born and raised in the North King Country on a sheep and beef farm before moving to Katikati in early 2015. I have been involved in the kiwifruit industry ever since, working in both the orchard and post-harvest operations throughout the year.

I have a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting and Finance from the University of Canterbury and completed the Level 2 National Certificate in Horticulture through Toi-Ohomai Institute of Technology. 

My husband and I live in Katikati and when we're not knee deep in the Kiwifruit world we are busy making memories with our two young kids. 

Born in Hamilton, I got a touch of the “bogan” before forging a 25 year career in horticulture – from the wine industry to retail business management to kiwifruit grower services.

Professionally, I’m all about relationships and engagement. “Teamwork makes the dreamwork” or some other such fluffy phrase.  

Hobbies include prying my son off playstation, (“before being involved in kiwifruit harvest”) hunting and fishing and all manner of craft alcohol, single malts and fine wine appreciation.

I was born in Tauranga and have been in and around the kiwifruit industry for most of my life.

I spent a number of years living in Sydney and London, during which time I travelled extensively, and primarily worked in customer service and Sales roles in various industries.

Upon returning home in 2011, I got involved in Kiwifruit and have thoroughly enjoyed this ever evolving, dynamic Industry for 12 years now.

When not working, my number one priority is spending time with my amazing wife and two boys. I also love the outdoors, sport and music.

I came from India back in 2008 and I have been in the kiwifruit industry almost 12 years now! I started as a general labourer, now I am proud to be a part of Hume Pack-N-Cool as a Grower Services Represenative. I am a easy going person, I value other people's cultural values & emotions so its very easy to get along with me. I hold a bachelor's degree in Arts and also hold Horticulture diploma level 5. 

When i'm not working I love spending my time around my family and I love cricket!
