I have 3 children, Sam, Sophie and

2012 to 2021 I became a volunteer with 1st Marton Scout Group. Becoming the Assistant Group Leader, Acting Kea Leader, Treasurer, Grants Officer, Hall Monitor and chief fundraiser!

2021 saw me move to Feilding Scout Group as their Kea Leader as sadly due to lack of leaders 1st Marton Scout Group had to close, by the beginning of 2022 I also became their Assistant Group Leader. By the end of 2022, I became the Group Leader of Feilding Scout Group. I am also the administrator for my husbands self employed electrical business.

My Story

I am a celebrant who has lived in Marton, Rangitkei since June 2005, having moved from England with my Husband Alan. During 2015, I attended the Celebrant School for Celebrants which is located in Auckland. I am so glad that I attended this course. It gave me invaluable information for my role as a celebrant, regarding not only the legalities side of the role, but also the many roles a celebrant has. I am a member of the Celebrants’ Association of New Zealand Inc - CANZ, which provides me with a code of ethics to abide by and also opportunities for professional development.

I have 3 children, Sam, Sophie and Thomas who like to keep me on my toes, all of whom were born in Palmerston North, here in New Zealand. Also I am the treasurer of our local scout group - 1st Marton Scout Group and as my husband is a self employed electrician, I help him with his business too.
