Our team

I grew up in Mount Maunganui before moving to Katikati at the age of seven. I attended Matahui School and then went on to Katikati College where I found my passion for the Kiwifruit industry whilst studying horticulture.

In 2016 I started working in a packhouse in Katikati where I was given the opportunity to progress into a Cadetship, completing the NZ Certificate in Horticulture and Fruit Production levels 3 and 4 at Toi Ohomai. I continued my Cadetship under Hume Pack-N-Cool in 2018, going on to achieve Fruit Production for Profit at level 5. This has since led me to become an Orchard Manager at the age of 21 and I am now planning on getting my Diploma.

I love being outdoors surrounded by nature and learning every day all whilst “growing” my knowledge.
