to the Director/Assistant to Managers NZ Climate Change Office, Ministry for the Environment, Wellington As the Climate Change Office moved away from the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet to the Ministry for the Environment, I was employed in this 9 month contract role in order to establish the administrative and support services aspect of the office. This included implementing new and efficient processes and procedures. This was initially a largely unstructured role as NZCCO moved under the umbrella of this Ministry. I reported directly to the newly appointed Director of NZCCO. This busy and challenging role involved: Sound awareness of all processes around the core functions of NZCCO Sound awareness of the processes and procedures surrounding the Ministry for the Environment and the Public Sector in general, enabling me to build a bridge between the Climate Change Office and the Ministry for the Environment

Catalyst IT, Wellington Working with the Senior Web Designer in this emerging Open Source company on all aspects of web design and maintenance.

In my current role I develop and drive the strategy and approach across all 21 local boards for the time-driven long-term and annual budget processes. Key to this is providing sound strategic advice, analysis and project leadership. A large part of this role is being the interface between the local boards and the organisation on the local components of these forward plans, developing and implementing a project management framework, processes and systems. During the recent annual budget consultation and engagement process, a key responsibility in my role was to lead the LBS Department through the new requirements as driven by the recent changes to the Local Government Act. Sitting on the ‘Improving Work Programmes for Local Boards’ project team gave me the opportunity to help identify and develop ways to align work programmes with financial planning processes and standardising how these are produced, presented and reported on.
