Rebekah brings 27 years of nursing experience to her role, with a strong background in hospital-based care. She spent much of her career working in assessment units, first at Auckland Hospital and later in Tauranga for the past 10 years. Her extensive experience in medical and surgical care has given her a broad skill set and deep understanding of patient needs.

Now transitioning into practice nursing, Rebekah is excited to connect with the Tauranga community and explore how her skills can best support patients in primary care. She enjoys working closely with people, providing them with the knowledge and tools to take charge of their health and live well.

Outside of work, Rebekah is an avid reader, beachgoer, and aspiring surfer. She also enjoys hiking and playing the keyboard. She and her daughter recently volunteered aboard the YWAM Aotearoa Medical Ship Koha, providing healthcare in Fiji.

I love working together with people, particularly providing them with information and tools around their health so they can thrive and do the things that are important to them.
