A born and bred Kiwi, that has called Queenstown home since 2002. I vividly remember travelling to Queenstown back in 97’ and writing a postcard from the Queenstown Bay lakefront to my family, that said “one day I would live in this place”! I was in awe of the intimacy of this little town that was complemented in striking contrast to the grandeur of the vistas that surround it. Somehow, still to this day, it makes me feel that there is something greater at play living here. Now married and raising two girls and there is no place greater to call home!

I was born in Xi’an, China, an ancient city with over 3000 years of history. Having lived in Shanghai, London, and Beijing, I was fortunate enough to settle in one of the most incredible places I've been — Queenstown. I’m passionate about travelling as I think it is a catalyst for cultural exchange, is eye-opening and fosters lifestyle changes. Having been a backpacker for 10 years, working in the tourism industry feels like a dream come true. I genuinely love travelling and can’t wait to share the beauty of Queenstown with visitors worldwide! During my last 6 years in NZ, I've discovered a love for skiing, tramping, snorkeling and gardening, and most recently developed a new interest in pottery.

Originally Australia born but arriving on the shores of Queenstown in 1997, I consider myself a through and through kiwi, more importantly a Queenstown local. Growing up here your true appreciation for our beautiful home comes with age; often not realising how good we’ve got it! From skiing our amazing mountains, to swimming our blue lakes and exploring our hills, 26 years on I understand the just how lucky we are to call this home! I consider myself a part of Queenstown, and Queenstown a part of me. What better place to work than the one that helps share its wonder and stories with the world.
