Our Staff

Kia Ora tatou.  Ko Tracy toku ingoa.  I am the manager for the Alzheimers Gisborne/Tairawhiti office and its services.  I endeavour to make sure everything is running smoothly for our staff and clients on a day-to-day basis.  I also organise events and fundraising along with being the person who answers the phone and will be the face you see when you pop into the office.

Tairawhiti is my turangawaewae and this community is where my heart is.  I have lived here for 24 years, I have been a carer for many years in different capacities and understand the isolation, exhaustion and everything surrounding our loved ones including the grief and loss.  I also would say that celebrating the “moments” is very important and I would love to talk more about that sometime.

I love to be in the kitchen, in the background, but just as much, love to be encouraging others and speaking at events.  You may have seen me over the years supporting all sorts of events around the motu and with my hahi whanau, The Salvation Army.  I am looking forward to meeting you all and having a korero/a chat with you and seeing how I can support you and your whanau on your journey.
