Nannette arrived in New Zealand from South Africa, where she was born, in July 2023 and started with Satisfy as a volunteer in October of the same year. She then moved on to become a relief driver, and then a permanent part time food collection specialist.

Nannette holds a teachers diploma obtained in 1980, but her work experience was in the Insurance industry for the past 30 years. Nannette is passionate about helping others, making a difference in the community, and to those who are struggling and in need. Rescuing food and minimising waste has such a positive impact on the environment which is so important to the world we live in.

Nannette also enjoys casual cycling, tries to walk 5000 steps a day and does aquarobics once a week. Nannette has a passion for succulents, loves to see them grow and multiply - she can never have enough of them!
