PERSONAL OVERVIEW

Born and raised in Cambridge, Waikato. Helen moved to Queenstown in 2013 to seek out new experiences and surround herself in the great outdoors.

A keen hiker, completing her first great walk ‘The Milford Track’ at the age of 9, the move enabled her to 'knock off' a number of tramps alongside personal sporting challenges including a marathon, half marathons, tri-team events and even relearning to ski as an adult.

Helen now enjoys sharing her love for the outdoors and New Zealand’s beautiful natural spaces, with her partner Todd, and passing that joy on to her two young daughters and crazy ginger Vizsla “Chai”. With their spare time they make sure to get out camping, fishing, kayaking, and hiking in the bush together as a family.

Helen believes in turning up, working towards meaningful goals and holding on to your sense of humour when things get rocky!
