Darlene was asked what she likes the most about her role, her reply was "Building connections and relationships with my hapori." She relocated home from Australia in 2019 and has been eager to serve our community. She is grateful she gets the opportunity to now do that.

Outside of mahi she enjoys whānau time as quality time is important to Darlene, bike rides with her tamariki.

Darlene's greatest achievements have been becoming a wife and a māmā. She holds a Level 5 Diploma in Hairdressing with 17 years' experience.
