Taran – HR and H&S Manager
Kia ora koutou, I am excited to join the HSN family! A little bit about me, I was born in Punjab, India, and
raised in the Waikato after arriving in Aotearoa on my “waka” — Singapore Airlines.
Since then, I’ve moved around the country, seeking out new experiences and opportunities through
different roles. My professional background is rooted in pharmacology and as a laboratory scientist, but a few years ago I made the exciting pivot into Human Resource Management. This shift was driven by my passion for working with people and building happy, healthy workplace cultures where staff feel valued and supported. For the past year, I’ve been with MSD, where I developed a stronger drive to support employees and focus on staff wellbeing, retention, and growth. I’m now looking forward to joining HSN, not only to contribute my skills but also to build new friendships along the way. Outside of work, you’ll often find me camping, hiking, or
travelling with my husband — always ready for the next adventure!
Lesley – HR Administrator – Whangarei
Kia Ora
I am very excited to be joining the Home Support North family in my role as Human Resources Administrator & Recruitment! I’m looking forward to getting to know you all in my new role, and sharing in the passion for HSN that I have already experienced, as well as connecting with new people and challenges. I came to live in the beautiful North 16 years ago, making change from a Repping/Sales role in the Waikato/BOP region to the challenge of co-owning my own business here in Whangarei. I have 2 wonderful adult children, who make me
very proud to be a mum. The lifestyle here in Whangarei is what I love, and you will, quite often, find me on a local maunga or trail. When I’m not running a trail you will probably find me training at the gym, currently working on my fitness to compete in my first HYROX event early next year.
Nga mihi nui and see you all in the field!
