After 43 years living and working overseas, my husband David and I returned to New Zealand in 2020, providentially just before the COVID-19 pandemic. We are grateful for the way God directed our return home, provided employment for David, and opened the door for me to serve with Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF).
My professional background spans advertising, sales, corporate training, management consulting, recruitment, and client relationship management. These experiences have equipped me with a diverse set of skills that I now have the privilege of using to support MAF staff and their families as they prepare for and engage in ministry around the world.
During our 15 years in Dubai, David and I found our church home at Fellowship Dubai, where my faith was renewed in a profound way. What began as a personal rediscovery of faith led to active involvement in church life and community outreach. David served in church leadership and the benevolence ministry, while I was involved in fundraising initiatives supporting Syrian refugee programmes and responding to needs within the local community.
Today, David and I live in Papamoa, while our daughter Tiffany her husband Rob, grandson Jasper and granddaughter Scarlett continue to reside in Dubai.
It is a privilege to serve with MAF and to contribute to an organisation that brings help, hope, and healing through aviation and the love of Christ.
