Tired of the balancing act?
When your event is your main focus or you have a team to manage, itβs nearly impossible to give your full attention to your core business.
I assume thatβs why youβre here β you're looking for an outsourced event manager to take the hassle away! Having someone like me on your side is essential for delivering an efficient event.
If your goal is to bring your community together to engage, learn and have fun then you're in the right place. Whatever your perfect gathering looks like - big or small, in person or online, my 20+ years of experience will help you get there.
Kia ora, Iβm Tania !
Official Mission Controller & Chief Event Officer in charge of getting the job done!
As an award-winning event organiser, I use my 25+ years of experience to help organisations like yours bring communities togetherβto learn, engage, and have a bloody good time doing it.
I know that for leaders like you, having the right support can make all the difference. Events are no exception.
A well-run event strengthens connections, builds momentum, and helps you achieve your goalsβwithout adding to your already full plate.
With a background spanning corporates in London, government agencies in Wellington, and not-for-profits across Aotearoa, Iβve tackled everything from frontline logistics to high-level strategy.
I get what it takes to pull off a seamless event, and I bring that expertise to every project I take on.
Letβs make your next event one to remember
Get in touch, letβs chat, I can help you!

2024 VA of the Year
My Journey on The VA Foundry Podcast
What a ride! My first-ever podcast interview dropped in September 2024, and wow, what a chat it was! After being crowned VA of the Year 2024 (still pinching myself! π€―), I sat down with Sam & Jo from The VA Foundry to talk about my journey, my business, and everything in between.
π How I went from redundancy to running Virtually There for 9 years
π The lessons (and curveballs) that shaped my business
π Niching, growth, and figuring out what really works
π My personal journey β health, family, and what the universe had in store
It was real, raw, and full of those "oh wow" moments β laughs, maybe a few tears, but most of all, an open and honest kΕrero about what it takes to build a thriving VA business.
Grab a coffee, pop in your earbuds, and listen in π§
