After losing her job in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic she has adapted to host, chair and speak at summits and conferences that focus on building resilience. But she hasn’t gone far from television, filling in on a variety of shows from Breakfast to Seven Sharp and Tonight, enjoying the freedom to show more of her personality.

The Dairy Event Calendar's purpose is to allow farmers to get a more comprehensive view of event activity in their area, and to help event planners avoid scheduling clashes.
The criteria for events to be loaded is that they are dairy focused, have strong farmer relevance and benefits, and are centered around improving farmer knowledge (not sales).
If you would like your event to appear on this calendar, contact us at events@dairynz.co.nz.
