Meet Mel, your local adviser

Having been a client of NZHL for 17 years, I know first-hand the difference the right support and advice can make when it comes to achieving your financial goals.

My career has taken me through some wonderfully varied environments – from the Air Force and the arts to serious injury management and corporate recruitment. Each experience has given me a different perspective, and together they’ve shaped the way I approach my role today.

As Operations Manager, I love the variety of the role and the opportunity to see the bigger picture. No two days are the same, and I particularly enjoy problem-solving, finding better ways of doing things and, most importantly, helping our clients navigate challenges so they can keep moving towards their goals.

I’m a big believer that great outcomes come from genuinely understanding people, thinking outside the box and having a team that cares about getting things right.

Outside the office, my teenagers keep me active and you’ll usually find me making the most of the outdoors – at the beach, out hiking, or enjoying live music with family and friends. I’m happiest when life has a good mix of down time, adventure, people and a little bit of fun.

My disclosure statement is available upon request.
