Born and raised in New Zealand, I began my career studying Hotel Management before embarking on an incredible 12-year journey around the world working onboard cruise ships. Life at sea gave me the opportunity to explore fascinating destinations, experience diverse cultures, and meet people from every corner of the globe — but it also taught me that there truly is no place like home.
After returning to New Zealand, I continued working within the cruise industry in land-based positions before finding my way to Southern World, where I now love creating unforgettable itineraries that showcase the very best of New Zealand for our international visitors. Two of my favourite places in New Zealand are the stunning Bay of Islands and the breathtaking Marlborough Sounds — both perfect examples of the natural beauty that makes this country so special. Outside of work, I’m passionate about travel, discovering new cultures, and immersing myself in the arts whenever I can.
