More about me

How can I help?

Your Vision. My Expertise.

I am dedicated to delivering exceptional results while respecting your resources and mission. My passion lies in curating events that amplify your kaupapa, engage your supporters and drive real impact for the communities you serve. Partner with NJ Management to create events that leave a lasting impression, inspire action and drive your mission forward. I look forward to solving your problems together.

Event Management

Every great event starts with understanding your objectives & budget. I will work with you to map out your vision, set realistic goals and ensure no detail is overlooked to roll out an event you and your organisation will be proud of. Perhaps your organisation does not have an events person on staff or you’re doing something outside the box that needs more resource, lets talk about it!

Project Management

Have an additional project that does not fit inside BAU? Wishing you had an extra staff member you could trust to take on a bespoke project? I would love to discuss whether I can help solve this problem for you.

Consulting & Mentoring

With a wealth of industry knowledge and hands-on experience, I can provide regular or one-off sessions to support event managers to refine their skills, tackle challenges and grow in their confidence in leadership. From managing budgets and coordinating teams to developing creative concepts and mastering logistical complexities, I would love to support your organisation & to empower mentees to excel in every aspect of their role.

What People Say About Working With Me

Ness is an exemplar of someone who brings professionalism into all that she does, aligned with a profound sense of mission and care for the people she works with.
It’s rare to find someone who melds systems, processes, vision and values in ways that seek to amplify the experience and mana of those engaging in their work. I thoroughly recommend Ness as an expert in her fields, whether it be event management or operational leadership. If you want your event done well, managed by someone with deep connections and networks across sectors, curated by someone who takes the time to understand your vision and design accordingly – you need to engage Ness in your project.

My name for her is the ‘fixer’ because whatever issues pop up in the normal course of a project, she’ll fix them. Organised, fast, great relational skills, and lots of initiative. Her speciality and the way we use her the most is in critical projects that have multiple stakeholders, and tight deadlines. She turns my chaos into order. Highly, highly recommend her services.

Te Wānanga Ihorangi

Ness is a driven, self-motivated and a “nothing is impossible” sort of person. Her immaculate organisational skill, coupled with her eye for detail make her the perfect person to organise any type of event – intimate to large scale gatherings. She knows just the right things to make an event the best it can be. Her team and colleagues are often blown away with her ability to come up with creative solutions to issues and her meticulously prepared spreadsheets.

Ness is an astute creative experience and events manager. Ness sees the big picture and enables the organisations key objectives and goals to be met by understanding audience needs and creating an experience to serve these, alongside enabling a smooth call to action. Ness has the ability to evoke the audience to take action, make a change, think differently and often in our case together acquire new supporters.
I worked with Ness for several years on many events, projects and large scale conferences, Ness is an absolute professional and a joy to be around.
