Nancy brings with her a wealth of knowledge from numerous sectors, ranging from Retail Management to International Logistics (export). Her passions lie with her commitment to Te Ao Māori. As a consultant, Nancy utilises her predominantly non-Māori upbringing by providing insight through two lenses – Te Ao Pākeha me Te Ao Māori. Through her role at Skills, Nancy hopes to provide support and guidance for those who are new to navigating the Te Ao Māori space.

Being the child of a Warrant Officer in the NZ Army, Nancy has called multiple regions home; Wellington, Hawkes Bay, Auckland, and also has whakapapa to the Far North.
