Sian Dawber (Senior admin)
I’m originally from North Yorkshire in the UK and emigrated to New Zealand in 2002 with my husband and two daughters who were 8 and 4 at the time. We chose Northland as my grandparents also emigrated here in the 70’s and I had visited Whangārei a couple of times and liked the area, the climate, and the laid-back lifestyle. In my spare time I like to read, exercise, and catch up with friends.
