I am the Research and Evaluation Manager at MATES in Construction NZ, a suicide prevention charity.
My previous role as Senior Policy and Advocacy Advisor at World Vision NZ, combined with my PhD research and leadership experience, has equipped me with a broad skill set across mental health, immigration, child well-being, disability, and caregiving. I have led impactful advocacy campaigns, directed research initiatives to build strong evidence bases, and thrive on working with communities and stakeholders to create real-world, evidence-driven solutions for social and community well-being.
