About Me

My career thus far spans a broad range of industries from healthcare to yachting, professional services to publishing, and I’m now very happy to have joined the Wilson School team. I am passionate about students accessing individualised education that supports them to achieve their potential and am looking forward to supporting the Wilson School community. I live locally, and outside of work love to spend time exploring New Zealand’s beautiful beaches and reserves and spending time with family and friends.

About Me

Hey I'm Lizz! My background is in corporate marketing/advertising. In 2016 I followed my passion for education and completed a Master of Teaching. As a teacher, I discovered how rewarding it is to work hands‑on with learners and see them flourish. Now, in my office role, I get to combine both my career backgrounds to support our amazing school. I love being a part of the Wilson School team! I truly value the opportunities Wilson School provides for our tamariki. Outside of work, I’m a mum to a teenager and I enjoy travelling, hiking, and exploring great food and flavours.

About Me

Originally from Canada, my background is in the hospitality industry. I’ve been lucky enough to travel and live in some beautiful cities while gaining experience in hotels, resorts, motels and cafes. I love meeting new people and am excited to take this role on at Wilson School. My husband and I have owned several businesses and currently are the proud owners of Quest on Queen. During my free time I enjoy spending time with my family (which includes my two daughters and dog Bruno) , going to the gym, travelling and knitting.

About Me

Most of my working life has been spent in the FMCG (Grocery) sector – graduating from sales rep to general manager for companies more recently such as Cadbury and Goodman Fielder. After deciding to dial down my corporate life, I looked for a role which could incorporate my typical Kiwi love of DIY, combined with giving something back and helping those in the community. To be able to make an everyday difference to our wonderful staff and students is a privilege. In my spare time, I love sharing this with my wife and two adult children (when they’re free of course!), as well as sailing, fishing, hiking and travelling.
