Trish has been an Adviser since 1998. With over 25 years of industry experience, she notes, that every client brings a unique opportunity and challenge, whether it’s securing the best pricing or finding the right solution to achieve their goals. She understands that navigating unfamiliar territory—like buying a home or raising finance—can overwhelm clients, leading to hasty decisions. Trish focuses not just on meeting immediate needs but on finding lending solutions that align with long-term financial goals.
She emphasises the importance of an efficient team and believes the client is the true leader. “It’s our job to provide tools and take the stress out of the process, so clients can make confident decisions and enjoy reaching their goals.”
Outside work, Trish is passionate about live theatre and actively involved with Theatre Whakatane and Stagedoor Performing Arts Academy. She is married with two adult children.
Our advisers are Specialists in their chosen areas, but they work closely with other Specialists within Apex Advice to provide you with tailored and holistic financial advice.

Why clients love working with our team.
“We were recommended Trish through multiple different people from multiple different walks of life & we couldn't be more happy with the service she provided. As a young couple, the thought of becoming homeowners was so far out reach but after our first appointment, it was a matter of a month and a half before we settled on our first home. We truly do appreciate everything Trish & the team have done to support us on this journey.”.

“I can not thank you enough for all their hard work - the skill and understanding for sorting out my loan. Trish and the team were instrumental with all the negotiation processes understanding the jargon that banks use and helping select the right loan for us. Making sense of it and taking away the stress... If you need advice, guidance and a team that understands the Home loan processes I recommend working with the team, as without them, well, there would be no loan... so once again I say thank you!”.

“Trish and her team were so amazing to deal with! Very attentive and kept us updated throughout the whole home loan process! Even kept in contact with us over the years from when we first made contact with her to see how we were doing and offered her services when we were ready to jump on the market. 100% cannot recommend enough. Thank you.”.

“My experience with Trish and her team was amazing! She is very attentive at what she does and works very fast. She kept me updated throughout the entire process.
Homeownership seemed so far out of reach for my partner and I, but Trish made it happen for us. She definitely goes above and beyond to help you achieve your goal of homeownership.
100% recommend Trish and the team.”.Jordan M,
