Cultural background: I was born in New Zealand to parents who migrated from the Kingdom of Tonga. My wife’s whakapapa includes Croatia, Ireland and Ngāti Maru in Hauraki. 

Professional qualifications: I hold a Masters degree in Adult Literacy and Numeracy Education, a Bachelor of Sport, and certifications in financial services. I’m also pursuing advanced micro-credentials in digital skills for the workplace and entrepreneurship. I have more than 20 years of professional experience, the past five dedicated to the affordable housing sector. As a certified financial services professional and Sorted facilitator since 2015, I have a track record of delivering impactful workshops and training sessions to a host of major New Zealand organisations. Im also the founder of FC&E Consulting, a firm focused on empowering individuals and organisations with financial literacy, strategic coaching and tailored financial services.

What inspired me to become a Sorted at Work facilitator: My motivation comes from a deep-seated passion for helping people unlock financial success. It’s incredibly rewarding to see people gain knowledge and confidence that allows them to set and reach higher financial goals.

What people can expect from my sessions: My sessions are designed to be informative, practical and relatable. Drawing from my own experience as a homeowner and investor, I aim to provide participants with clear, actionable insights into personal finance.

What I enjoy most about being a Sorted at Work facilitator: I love seeing participants transform as they engage with the Sorted at Work programme, often reaching goals they once thought unattainable, such as eliminating debt or achieving homeownership.
