I deliver virtual open workshops to people from all across Aotearoa. Please visit my worksense website to book a space in my workshops.

I have over 15 years of union-based employment relations experience with a strong training focus. I hold a level 8 postgraduate workplace health and safety qualification.

I build great worker participation, engagement and representation practices and help people collaborate towards real health and safety improvements. My training ensures every learner understands and supports H&S responsibilities across their organisation and industry.

I also offer free before and after workshop support for learners through bookable sessions. I’m able to run workplace-based virtual workshops if it’s crucial for your team to learn together.
