About
At the heart of my professional journey with Westpac New Zealand so far, lies a steadfast commitment to fostering social impact and community engagement within a large and complex organisation. In the last five years, my competencies in communication and mentorship have been instrumental in advancing community strategies and investment projects as well as managing our social sustainability reporting (community investment, modern slavery and human rights).
The focus on improving equity propels my work, guiding my approach to project delivery and team collaboration. While at Westpac, I've had the privilege of working for an organisation whose values align with my own and together, we've spearheaded initiatives that not only reflect our corporate values but also contribute to meaningful societal change.
While I love what I get paid to do, I also like to get stuck in to other important pieces of work:
👱🏻♀️👩🏻🦰👩🏻 Women of Westpac Employee Advocacy Group co-chair: influenced the inclusion of period products across all our WNZL sites, and improvements to annual leave ahead of legislation, overseeing events and initiatives for our 600+ member strong group
🏔🏞⛰Lower South Island Whiri Tekau - Regional Board member: supporting the delivery of funding and volunteering in our local region
❤💲❤ Managing Your Money facilitator: volunteering as a trained facilitator to deliver financial education workshops online and face to face
