Having good support outside of work and a very understanding husband and children, has allowed me to travel regularly with my job working from my North Island sites on average one in every three weeks.
The friendships and relationships that I have been lucky to be part of over the years and working with a team of people supporting them each to succeed in their desired roles has made me proud to be part of Pacific Toyota and gets me through the challenges presented to see the next one succeed.
