About Sandra
Ko taku Raukura he manawanui ki te ao. Taroro atu ngā taha ngaro.
(My Raukura is an assurance to the world. It permeates the realm of the unknown.)
I’m a soul-led, multi-passionate entrepreneur with over two decades of event management experience, having navigated the dynamic landscape of business growth across diverse projects and communities worldwide.
After 23 fulfilling years of owning and nurturing my own successful (can I say that?) business event agency, I’ve embarked on a new journey to help other small business owners optimise their business so they can have more revenue, profit and time. I am currently supporting Arinex as a Senior Business Development Manager.
