Talofa Lava,

I was born and raised in Whanganui with three older siblings and our amazing, widowed mother.

I moved to Palmerston North after High School to attempt the life as a Uni Student and a couple of years later I moved to Sydney.

In Sydney, I was working as a Housing Officer for almost seven years at the Department of Communities and Justice NSW. I managed a portfolio of 400-450 properties in a high-risk area. I gained a lot of knowledge, experience and skills and I also had the opportunity to act up in a Senior role.

I recently came back to Whanganui in August this year to fulfil my mums wishes for all her kids and their families to be altogether in one place, so here we are.

The pace in Whanganui is definitely slower and the no traffic has been quite refreshing.

I’m looking forward to learning about property management in the private sector with Tracey and her diligent team.

Faafetai Lava,

Tanya.
