Position:
HIP trainer
I am a registered social worker and have experience working with families and individuals across a range of settings, including supporting young people through challenges with substance use in smaller rural areas. I am currently working as a health improvement practitioner (HIP) for Pegasus Health in Canterbury. Becoming a HIP has been one of the most valuable roles I have taken on, as it provided me with many opportunities to develop and grow my practice, and being able to provide immediate support to tangata whai ora has been tremendously rewarding. I became a HIP trainer in 2021 and am enjoying being able to teach and support others within the role. In my spare time I enjoy getting out in the sun, reading and knitting the odd row or two in front of the tele.
