Facilitator Development Coordinator
Kia ora koutou!
Ko Jenni tōku ingoa.
As part of the Blueprint whānau, I manage all things induction and development for our awesome facilitators, new and experienced. I’m super excited to be a part of this amazing team and contribute to this great mahi.
I am originally from the UK, with roots in Yorkshire, London and Norfolk. I left to travel the world in 2014, and am now lucky enough to call Aotearoa my home.
I began my career in mental health as a Drama and Movement Therapist, before moving into Organisational Development and Training with a wellbeing focus. I’m passionate about reducing the stigma so often attached to mental health and addiction.
To keep myself busy I also dabble in freelance body painting, art and sculpture, and run fun art events for kids and adults. Back in 2022, I created a community art café and venue in Upper Hutt called Maxines – if you’re ever in Pinehaven check it out!
In my spare time you can find me painting, swimming, cuddling dogs or plotting my next trip overseas.
