As a legal executive, Hazel’s role is all about helping people through what is often a stressful and disruptive period as they relocate to a new country and a new home. She has considerable experience helping immigrants regularise their status in New Zealand and gain work and residence class visas for themselves and their families.

Hazel began her legal career soon after leaving school. She gained her legal executive diploma in 2017 and has gone from strength to strength working within law-related roles – from conveyancing and estates to assisting with litigation and employment matters – before finally settling into the field of immigration.

“I get a lot of satisfaction out of providing reassurance and clarity to clients on what is needed and what they can expect throughout the application process. It’s very rewarding to provide support and guidance and help ease stress for immigrants and their families”.

When she’s not working, Hazel loves to get out and about and explore the great outdoors. Over the past few years, with international travel on hold, she has been enjoying camping and discovering parts of New Zealand that she’s never seen before.
