Since 2020, I’ve been section-walking the Te Araroa Trail for a few weeks each year. This journey has fueled my commitment to the trail’s long-term success, as I see Te Araroa as a vital asset for New Zealand. I am passionate about leveraging my background as a qualified Chartered Accountant—with experience across strategy, finance, operations, corporate leadership, and entrepreneurship—to champion the trail’s strategic values as its community of walkers grows.
