Teresa joined the Sisters of the Good Shepherd in the 1960s, after an early career in finance. She has been involved in many ministries in residential, community and institutional settings. Sr Teresa spent 15 years as a prison chaplain and eight years with The Trading Circle. She is particularly interested in supporting people to realise their potential through employment.

Sr Teresa is a founding member of the Good Shepherd New Zealand Board. She is now a Special Observer. Her perspective helps ensure we don’t drift from our mission. Her wisdom and sunny attitude are wonderful additions to governance discussions.
