I'm Elda, a Kiwi at heart with Chilean roots. Having embarked on a unique journey from the breathtaking landscapes of Chile to the stunning shores of New Zealand over a decade ago, I'm now a proud citizen of this beautiful country.

My professional journey has been just as diverse as my cultural experiences. With a background in Chemical Engineering, I've donned many technical hats in the copper mining industry in Chile and the manufacturing sector in New Zealand. But what truly fuels my fire is helping people. Today, I'm delighted to serve as the Programme Coordinator for the incredible Here Toitū team, where I have the privilege of supporting this dedicated group in their mission to assist our valued whānau.

At the core of everything I do is the simple belief that we're all in this together and lending a hand to one another is what makes our journey through life truly remarkable. I'm excited to be a part of a team that embodies this spirit, and I look forward to supporting them as they continue to make a positive impact on the lives of those we serve.
