Experience & Background
Previously in Roading Infrastructure for 8 years, I joined my partner Roofing 14 years ago, became Qualified in 2 strands – metal tiles and roof and wall cladding, and now I co-own our Roofing Company.
I love all things Roofing and most things to do with challenges and action involved. I measure, quote and install jobs. Do all the management of jobs and staff, including H&S and more! I liaise with clients and PMs. I’ve worked with and learned from guys my whole life, I absolutely love challenges and working outdoors with my hands. Alongside my business, I have also been a Roof Trainer for Vertical Horizonz for the past 3 years.
I helped form the Waikato NAWIC Chapter as Chair before joining the NAWIC National Council. Adding to that, I am on the National Board for NZWIR and Hamilton Branch Co-Chair.
I’ve been awarded:
- 2017 Roof Trainee of The Year
- 2019 & 2020 NZ NAWIC/BCITO Tradeswoman Of the Year
- 2019 Colorsteel Roofer Of the Year Finalist.
