About

Driven and very customer focused, both internal and external. I believe in the motto of doing your best and getting the best out of your work.

I aim to be someone who is seen for implementing changes that improve our present environment and makes life easier for all concerned.

Being a Transsexual woman (and proud of it), and also someone very passionate in the fairness of equality and inclusion, I am very interested in Diversity (across the board) and how companies in New Zealand (Aotearoa) can make sure that diversity, and inclusion is a core principle in their business model.
