Professional
I'm a highly skilled and adaptable finance professional with 14 years of experience in diverse industries. My passion for problem-solving, ongoing learning and contribution to business success are what set me apart from others in my field.
I am organized and a focused achiever with a solid financial acumen and business expertise. My skill set includes rapidly understanding a new business or industry and analysing how the accounting function can support business goals through revenue generation, cost control, financial reporting and staff development and engagement.
During the course of my career I have handled Financial Analysis and Reporting, Business Process Improvement, Team Performance and Training, Budget and Forecasting Preparation, Compliance and Audits. My success is visible from the initiatives I have taken and the results I have achieved in my profession.

Personal
I was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa. I'm married to Gary Bottger, an illustrator, animator and caricature artist. We have two children, a boy aged 11 and a girl aged 9.
My connection to New Zealand began 23 years ago when Gary and I visited for 6 months. We based ourselves in Auckland, staying with close family while travelling extensively, from Pahia in the north down to Queenstown in the south. We fell in love with the country and always wanted to return. Living and working in Invercargill is a dream come true for us.
