Kathryn lives in Hamilton with her family. She loves meeting new people in both business and at Raglan beach where she used to live. Kathryn enjoys reading books, walking the dog, and does a variety of craft work – (not an age thing – but a "multi tasking" option)… while assisting with homework, TV, movie watching or while relaxing.

If you want someone with some practical life experience who enjoys a good laugh, then Kathryn is the one for you.

Kirsten is a qualified Legal Executive, qualifying in 2006, and started working in Law in 2001. Over this time she has worked in a wide variety of areas, including residential conveyancing, commercial, family, wills and estates. Kirsten rejoined the team in July 2013 after leaving in 2008 to have her family. She is also 2 years off finishing her law degree (as at 2016).

Kirsten now lives in Hamilton with her young boys. She has built her own home, so has first hand experience with the highs and lows of the building process. If you are looking for someone who has life experience and understands the real world, then give Kirsten a call. 

In her limited spare time, Kirsten enjoys reading, watching movies and spending time with her friends and family. She is also taking the plunge in 2014 and starting her law degree.

I am very lucky to have a job that I love with awesome people, and work in an environment that is fast paced and allows fun times as well. I have worked in the firm since 2004 and don't see myself leaving any time soon. My husband and I live on a rural block of land at Whatawhata with our gorgeous boxer dog and a few sheep. We love the country views and trees and garden that surround our house.

We have spent many years travelling the countryside, day tripping and long trips down the South Island on our motorbikes, camping rough and travelling light. Although I have just recently sold mine, I have met a lot of awesome people and have great memories that will last a life time.
