I began working at OFS in 2002, having returned to Dunedin after living in Queenstown, Christchurch, then Melbourne over a period of 6 years. This was not long after the business began – there was just one broker and another broker support, so I had to hit the ground running. We worked alongside OFM (who some of you may remember as the "AMP agents"). Having grown up with my father who was an AMP adviser meant the industry was always in the background. I've been in a variety of roles at OFS as the business expanded and evolved. Recently, I took on the Business Administrator role, and love the challenge it presents.

My husband Nathan and I have two wonderful boys (11 and 13) who keep us on our toes. Our Labrador Rex was a recent addition; he came to us last year as a fully grown (40kg!) 3 year old, and has slotted in like he’s always been there.

Netball is one of my biggest passions, and I play weekly at both Metro Indoor Sports and the Edgar Centre. To wind down, I can’t go past a good book (and perhaps a glass of wine). I love this time of year as the weather improves – you can’t beat a barbeque on a warm Dunedin evening.
