Why I'm in the NZ Businesswomen
I am committed to the empowerment and success of women in all walks of life. I want to build more business in Kāpiti as I love the region and want to spend more time working in Waikanae so I can enjoy being there. I want to work a bit less so I can fit in my voluntary work over the next few years.
