Tell us about your experience in the industry
I have worked in horticulture since I was a university student at Canterbury of University, and it was my summer job. I moved to Auckland to follow this as a career and have worked mainly in garden maintenance, retail garden centres and wholesale nurseries. I had experience managing others in these roles as well as customer service and marketing, including websites and publications.
