Senior manager
FSP1005251
Before stepping into the financial world, I spent five years as a high school Maths teacher. I’ve always enjoyed working with people and helping them grow, but over time, I felt ready for a new challenge, one where I could still make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
That desire for change led me to the financial services industry, and I quickly realised I’d found my new passion. I love being able to work closely with clients to improve their financial wellbeing, whether that’s through smart insurance strategies or long-term Kiwisaver planning. It’s incredibly rewarding to help people gain clarity, confidence, and control over their finances.
My approach is grounded in education and empowerment: I want my clients to understand their options and feel supported in making the right decisions for their future.
Our Trusted Providers





Let's start the conversation.
Get in touch for a free, no pressure, no-obligation consultation to discuss your needs. Whether it's a brand new strategy, or some minor tweaks we're on your side.

Everyone’s situation is different, we all have different tolerances for risk and different appetites for premiums.
A good place to start is by asking: what would happen if you were suddenly out of the picture? Would your family be okay? Could the bills still get paid? Would you be able to afford treatment if your health took a hit?
If the answer’s “not really,” then yeah, we should probably have a chat.
New Zealand’s great, we’ve got a lot of government support systems.
But they’re designed to be safety nets, not full replacements. The government isn’t covering your mortgage or your Netflix subscription.
Insurance exists to help you maintain your lifestyle if something goes wrong, so you don’t have to take a big step backwards just to stay afloat.
That depends on where you're at in life, what you’ve already got in place, and what risks you're comfortable carrying.
We’ve seen it all and know how to spot the gaps. We’ll work through your situation with you and help figure out a level of cover that makes sense, not more than you need, and not less than you’d regret.
We hate paperwork too. Luckily for you, it’s on us. We’ll handle the admin, explain the fine print, and keep the jargon to a minimum. You just have to show up.
Nope.
For most of what we do, we’re paid by the providers and it doesn’t change what you pay in premiums. If there’s ever a cost to you (rare), we’ll be upfront about it.
You can check out the full breakdown anytime in our public disclosure document.
No worries.
Chances are it hasn’t been reviewed in a while, and your life might look a bit different now.
We’re always happy to take a look and give you a second opinion.
We’ll walk you through it.
Most of it can be done online, but if you’d rather meet in person, we’re more than happy to make that happen.
Most of the time there are no waiting periods once your policy is in place; however, some benefits do have waiting periods, especially if you want pre-existing conditions to be covered.
At Pulse Advice, we’re proud of the trust our clients place in us. Here’s what they have to say about working with our team.
