Leadership Committee
Sheree Briggs, Chair
I am a registered psychologist and Board Certified Behaviour Analyst currently working in the Child Development Team in the beautiful Te Tai Tokerau region alongside supervising interns in the Waikato programme. I have worked in the health-care/disability sector for most of my working life. I am passionate about inclusive, culturally responsive practice and committed to empowering all individuals thrive across all their environments. I draw on whanaungatanga and manaakitanga to guide my interactions and practice.
My interests outside of work are cycling, swimming and hiking, finding well-being in te taiao.
