I’ve called Auckland’s Eastern suburbs home for the past 17 years, giving me a deep understanding of the local market and a true appreciation for everything the area has to offer.

My career began in business administration and credit control, where I successfully ran my own administration services company supporting small businesses. This strong foundation in organisation, systems, and customer service has been invaluable throughout my real estate career.

In 2007, I completed my Real Estate Salesperson’s Certificate and spent the next three years selling residential properties, primarily in the Eastern suburbs. I later found my niche in property management, starting as a letting agent for an inner-city agency specialising in apartments before joining Barfoot & Thompson in April 2011.

My journey with Barfoot & Thompson began at the Panmure branch as a Property Management Administrator. Thanks to my dedication and strong performance, I was quickly promoted to Letting Specialist, then Rental Assistant, before transferring to the Highland Park branch in June 2014, where I took on the role of Head of Property Manager.

Having worked my way up through the ranks, I bring extensive knowledge and hands-on experience to every aspect of property management. I’m known for my straightforward, fair-but-firm approach, and I’ve earned the respect of both landlords and tenants alike. As a manager, I’ve also gained in-depth experience with tenancy tribunal proceedings and work proactively to protect my landlords' interests.

Outside of work, I have a passion for lifestyle properties and rural living. As an experienced equestrian, I love spending time riding with my daughter and truly understand the unique needs of managing lifestyle blocks and farms.

If you’re looking for a property manager who is professional, responsive, and committed to high standards, I’m just a phone call away.

What my clients say

I know how difficult it was to resolve this dispute. Without your meticulous checking of all the accounts, without your patient preparation of various documents and files and without the professionalism you demonstrated in front of the court and the tenants, what I might have received would have been a complete mess property and meagre compensation. So, I'm very glad that I chose Barfoot & Thompson to manage my property at that time. Your dedication reflects the company's professionalism in the rental management market and adds confidence to their image in the hearts of customers. I believe that if there is an opportunity in the future, I will still choose Barfoot & Thompson and I'd be willing to recommend the company to my friends at any time. Thank you again for your help.

Hey Barfoot & Thompson Highland Park. After spending the past years renting, I can say that it’s been such an easy process from the application, the house inspections, all the way through to the day of leaving.

I’m sad to say my new home isn’t through Barfoot & Thompson but whoever fills the house will be able to do so with ease.

I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for the work you did managing our rental property for us. It really was worth every penny of the small fee I felt was charged we didn't have to worry about a thing which was so valuable to me particularly as I work full time. Once again thanks for your expert care.
