I’ve been a part of the Te Papa whānau since 2010 and lead the Loans and Acquisitions team.

I’m passionate about sharing the collection and finding ways to connect Te Papa’s taonga to new audiences across Aotearoa New Zealand and around the world.

I love engaging with stakeholders exploring opportunities for how Te Papa might offer more short- and long-term loans as well as identifying potential barriers you may have encountered when borrowing collections from us.

My aim is to continuously provide excellent customer service and for Te Papa to become the go-to museum for borrowing collections.

Working at Te Papa is so fascinating. We have such a diverse and wonderful collection, and it's such a privilege to be in a position at Te Papa where we can share these treasures with Aotearoa, and audiences across the globe.

I love working in a job that is so varied and exciting. It's rewarding to work and connect with such incredibly talented people within the GLAM sector, and it's so satisfying to be able to provide valuable support for those who may experience obstacles when borrowing from Te Papa.

I have a Masters in Museum and Heritage Practice, where I learned just how fundamentally valuable the cultural sector is for communities all over the globe. I adored Te Papa growing up as a young Wellingtonian, so it’s truly great to be a part of such a unique organisation.

I feel very privileged to be a part of the team at Te Papa, and to contribute to the sharing of our collection and stories throughout Aotearoa. In my role I’m given the opportunity to collaborate with internal and external stakeholders on securing exciting acquisitions, and provide support and advice on the loans process.

My interest in the sector led into a BA in History and a Masters in Museum & Heritage Practise. This degree taught me the importance of building a collection that represents our culture and communities. This mahi allows us to reflect on the past, and have conversations about the present and future.
