Based in Wanaka, South Island of New Zealand, working with local and overseas clients, I provide expert guidance, personalized assistance, professional representation and strategic visa solutions to individuals, families, and employers.

Immigrating to New Zealand is a life-changing journey, but navigating visa applications, compliance requirements, and immigration policies can be complex and overwhelming. I understand it because I have also started my journey to New Zealand as a migrant. I have held a work visa, a resident visa, a permanent resident visa, and finally I became a New Zealand citizen. I also have experience first hand in dealing with Immigration New Zealand as an employer and senior human resources manager, before I decided to become a Licensed Immigration Adviser.

Now, with years of experience specializing in New Zealand immigration law, I ensure that my clients submit strong, decision-ready applications that maximize their chances of success.

Whether you need a work, student, visitor or resident visa, help overcoming immigration challenges such as requesting a section 61 visa or character or medical waivers, I am here to help. My professional advice also extends to employers needing advice regarding compliance, accreditation, job check or other visa pathways assistance for their migrant workforce.

Finally, I assist investors and entrepreneurs looking to invest and develop or create business activities in New Zealand.

Although I work independently, I am an active member of professional immigration advisory networks and industry groups, ensuring that I stay at the forefront of New Zealand immigration law, policy changes, and best practices. My participation in these professional circles allows me to collaborate with other experts, stay informed about evolving immigration regulations, and uphold the highest standards of professionalism and ethics in my work.

Being part of these networks also means that I can draw on collective expertise for complex cases, share insights on best practices, and advocate for fair immigration policies. This ensures that my clients receive not only personalized service but also the benefit of up-to-date, well-rounded, and highly professional immigration advice.

With a background in Human Resources, Finance, and Business Management, I bring a unique, strategic perspective to immigration. I understand not just the legal intricacies of visa applications, but also the real-world employment, financial, and compliance factors that impact both migrants, investors, entrepreneurs and employers. This holistic approach allows me to anticipate potential challenges, structure applications effectively, and provide immigration solutions that align with career goals, business needs, and long-term residence objectives.

By combining technical expertise with a deep understanding of workforce dynamics and financial planning, I ensure that my clients receive not only accurate immigration advice but also practical, results-driven strategies for securing their future in New Zealand.
