Tō Mātou Tīma - Our Team
Outside of work, I am busy wrangling my tweenagers and dog George. I also enjoy attempting Pilates and mountain biking in the Redwoods.
Ko wai au?
I te taha o tōku māmā nō Ngāti Porou ōku tipuna
Ko Kōnaki te maunga
Ko Harataunga te moana
Ko Horouta te waka
Ko Ngāti Porou ki Harataunga te iwi
Ko Te Whānau a Rākairoa te hapū
Ko Te Tairawhiti te kainga tūturu o tōku iwi
Engari, I tipu ake au ki Paeroa ki Hauraki
E noho ana au ināianei ki Omanu
Ko Sheryl tōku ingoa
Ko ahau te Kaiwhakahaere Rauemi o SociaLink Tūhono Pāpori
After spending many years working in the airline industry in Auckland, I moved with my young family to Tauranga Moana in 2016. A small-town girl at heart, I have lived in Tauranga several times throughout my life, and it has always called me back. After doing a bit of whakapapa research, I learnt that I have tīpuna from Ngāi te Rangi, which I like to think explains my feelings of connection to the area.
What I do at socialink:
I’ve worked at SociaLink Tūhono Pāpori since 2022, supporting the kaupapa with administration, events, and whatever else comes my way. In addition to managing operations, systems and overseeing communications, I’m learning about data, reporting, and AI—lots of variety. You could call me a systems geek because I love simplifying processes and problem solving.
