About the host

Host profile image
My family moved from Buckinghamshire in the UK to New Zealand in 2011, and since then I have worked full-time as a dental assistant with Te Whatu Ora, caring for school communities across the South Waikato area.
I have been married since 1992, and my two adult children have now left home and are building their own lives. We share our home with Bonnie, our beautiful old German Shepherd who rarely leaves our side. My husband and I are big Lord of the Rings fans and enjoy music, movies, and classic cars all while embracing life in this gorgeous countryside.
