OUR TRUSTEES

I have lived in Ōpōtiki all my life, only leaving for a short few years to study in Hamilton.

Ōpōtiki is a beautiful place with an extraordinary community spirit. The Rangimarie Trust is a prime example of this spirit. I came into the organisation late 2014 when they were looking for a new treasurer.

As a qualified accountant, I was happy to offer my services to this small charitable organisation with a big heart that provides such an amazing service for this community and since my election at the 2017 AGM I am pleased to now be able to serve the Trust in the role of Chairman.

I have spent most of my working life teaching people with a range of disabilities- physical, cognitive and social.

For all of my students, their physical and social living environment has played an important role in their ability to live well and happily.

When I heard about the Rangimarie Trust in Ōpōtiki, I was keen to become involved, and have been the secretary since 2010.

I have returned to live in Ōpōtiki after living away for some time.

I work as a health/welfare worker and feel privileged to have been invited to become a part of the Rangimarie Trust Board in 2020. I align with the Trust’s mission and admire the commitment Rangimarie Trust offers to provide comfortable, affordable, and accessible accommodation services for the local people.  

I look forward to being part of the team and offering my professional expertise in support of future developments.
