About me ... 

As an owner of a business with a 21-year successful track record in the commercial security systems technology sector, I was acutely aware how important good quality information was to the decisions that I made. That is why in 2014 I also formed Silk Business Solutions, a boutique bookkeeping and administration business focused on helping other small business owners, just like myself, do what they do best, delivering their products and services, whilst I make sure that the business remains financially sound and the business owner has quality information to base their decisions upon.

As well as the University of life providing this 21-year apprenticeship of actually running a business, I have supplemented this practical and pragmatic approach with study at Auckland University from where I graduated with a Master of Management degree. This understanding of theory coupled with years at the coal face allow me a unique perspective to help my clients become more effective in driving their business forward.

I live in Auckland and love to stay fit by running, swimming, and cycling. I have participated in many triathlons and half and full marathons; a highlight was participating in the New York Marathon in 2017. I have recently become a grandmother and the joy of my life is Gracie.
