Tasman Insurance Brokers
Financial Service Provider No. 386146
Insurance; kind of a strange thing to be passionate about! Maybe it’s not so much the insurance that excites me, but making sure that my clients are looked after, so if they were to suffer a loss, I am able to help ease some of the stress and regain financial security, that’s where I get my buzz.
Having been involved in insurance for in excess of 30 years, I’ve seen all sides of the industry: From claims for Fires, Floods and Earthquakes to motor accidents. From the perspective of business owners, trying to balance their outgoings, against the need for the right kind of insurance – without overdoing it with covers you might not really need.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have been able to travel for a number of years, returning between adventures to the same Insurer in Auckland. Before moving to Nelson, I managed a lodge in Queenstown – so I have experience both sides of the ‘insurance game’. I’ve lived in the Nelson/Tasman region since 2004, when I met my (now) husband, and along with our son, have made Tasman our home. Having been a broker here for 15 years, l recently was given the opportunity to set up my own broking company. Bringing an amazing base of existing clients with me, I set up Tasman Insurance Brokers Ltd and haven’t looked back!
I look forward to partnering with you to ensure that you have the best possible cover in place to protect you when and where you need it the most.

After spending the last 14 years working in various roles across the Insurance industry, I am now the newest addition to Tasman Insurance Brokers. I have had the pleasure to work alongside Karen in a previous role and could not be more excited to join her team. I have a wide range of insurance knowledge with small to medium businesses previously being my focus. I pride myself on a high level of customer service and am committed to doing what I say, when I say I will do it.
I was born and raised in the Nelson region and live on a small farm in Upper Moutere with my partner and chaotic Vizsla puppy, Strada. My spare time is usually spent outdoors enjoying this beautiful region, whether it be tramping up the side of a mountain or sitting in the sun enjoying a good glass of wine.
I look forward to meeting all of our clients and building long lasting relationships.
After an 18-month break, I’m delighted to be back in the world of domestic insurance with the team at T.I B — reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting fantastic new clients along the way. I’m passionate about helping people protect what matters most and take pride in making insurance simple, personal, and stress-free.
Life outside work is wonderfully full. With two busy kids, a wonderful fiancé, and our spirited wee dog, there’s never a quiet moment — and with a new baby arriving in April, things are about to get even livelier! I’ll be taking maternity leave around that time, but rest assured I’ll be back, refreshed and ready to support you as soon as I return.
When I’m not chasing after the family, I’m focused on planning for the future and soaking up the small moments that make life big.
Whether it’s supporting clients or looking after my own crew, my goal is the same: to build confidence, security, and peace of mind — one policy (and one adventure) at a time.
I began my insurance career in the early ’90s after moving from Greymouth to Nelson and quickly discovered a real passion for claims. After time in Dunedin, a stint in banking, and raising my family in Oamaru and later Motueka, I’ve made my way back—25 years later—to the industry I’ve always loved.
I’m especially drawn to the detail of policy wording and the puzzle-solving nature of claims. No two days are the same, and I love helping clients understand their cover while working closely with insurers to keep claims running smoothly.
I live in Motueka with my energetic Vizsla, Zala, and make the most of our beautiful beaches and parks. I’m happiest hanging out with my adult kids and being outdoors—fishing, swimming, landscaping—or at a concert, on a Pilates mat, or planning the next adventure.
I’m proud to be part of Karen’s team at Tasman Insurance Brokers, where we love what we do and the clients who make it all worthwhile.
