For the past forty years my husband Ray and I have been self employed as Dairy Farmers and then as orchardists round the Waikato region. We sold up about 5 years ago and went to Kaikoura for two years to help when our grandson Mykal was born with severe Cerebral Palsy.
Our son Shane and his wife Carolyn both teach at Otumoetai College here in Tauranga and have a 13 year old daughter Emma.
Nicky our daughter and her husband Chris have their own computer business in Kaikoura and have two children – Aliana who is 7 and Mykal aged 6.
We came to Tauranga three and a half years ago and I ventured into the workforce for the first time in many years although I did work part time at our church for 10 years. I started working as a Personal Assistant in Real Estate and did my Salesperson Certificate at Bay of Plenty Polytechnic.
I enjoy the Real Estate Industry and love working with people. I am really excited about joining Coopers and look forward to being able to support the sales team allowing them to spend more time looking after their vendors and working with buyers.
