My background combines a career in education with over a decade in New Zealand Police, including roles as Detective Sergeant and Tactical Intelligence Officer. I’ve also spent a lot of time involved in nonprofit and faith-based organisations.

That combination gives me the ability to assess complex situations quickly, understand what’s actually at stake, and determine what response is needed, before the situation becomes harder to manage.

I work primarily with schools, tertiary institutions, charities and nonprofit organisations across New Zealand and Australia. These are environments where relationships are often complicated, reputation is everything, and the stakes of getting things wrong are high.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts, a Diploma of Secondary Teaching and a Post-Graduate Certificate in International Security.
