Kirsty McCarthy, Project Lead

I’m originally from Havelock North and have lived in Wairarapa for the last 13 years. I live in Masterton with my husband and two teenage boys, and two high energy Staffordshire bull terriers, known as The Kids. 

I love the outdoors, enjoy hiking in the Tararua Forest Park and getting out on my bike and exploring our region and beyond. I love travelling, particularly in South America - Peru, Bolivia and Argentina are my favourite countries. 

I am an experienced project manager with a background in Finance, Parks & Recreation, and Community Development. 

I’m passionate about our environment and sustainability and am looking forward to supporting catchment groups with their aspirations and goals.
