Anna joined Shirlaws in 2007.  Her experience of helping people to find job satisfaction has provided an excellent foundation for coaching Shirlaws' clients to achieve their cultural and commercial visions. Anna loves working in the ‘coaching space', helping clients to set goals that inspire and motivate them, and helping them to plan a way of achieving their dreams.

Anna's move to Shirlaws in 2007 follows a successful career in Marketing and Communications within New Zealand and the UK.  Originally a PR specialist in London, Anna moved to New Zealand in 2003 where she has worked for a number of public sector organisations in management roles. From marketing New Zealand to migrants, promoting public health, raising funds for developing countries or promoting education she has used her creative vision and understanding of personal behaviors to help people change their lives.  She began career coaching in 2004.

She is passionate about living in New Zealand and loves the coastline and café culture of Wellington. Anna is also a musician, regularly playing the piano and singing, and when she can find the time loves to pick up a paint brush.
