Meet the nzgirl team…

Jenene Freer
Founder/Publisher

My role with nzgirl is…Publisher. I’m all about strategy and make sure people get paid! I’m the ideas girl.

When I’m not at work, you can find me… on a plane!  I’m actually based in Sydney and I go back and forth over the tasman a lot!  I live right by the water in the inner west suburb of Lilyfield and you can find me running, walking the dog or getting my best “Julia!” on in the kitchen.

I firmly believe… the right thing will happen at the right time for the right reasons.

The best thing about being an nzgirl is… being afforded the opportunities to do cool things like this!  Sure we have some pretty tough times, but really, in the scheme of things?  They’re not tough – they’re incredibly fortunate.

Tee Twyford
General Manager/Editor-in-Chief

My role with nzgirl is… General Manager/Editor. So pretty varied. I am responsible for the look and feel of nzgirl, developing and publishing content, generating new ideas to help grow the business, cultivating relationships with advertisers and readers alike, engrossing myself in social media and bringing one of my favourite brands to life.

When I’m not at work, you can find me… indulging in a glass of Pinot Gris with the girls, lying on the beach at Hahei with my family, reading one of the many great books that show up on my desk, debating the merits of the Rotten Tomatoes film critique versus the actual film with my partner, tweeting up a storm, lamenting how once again my wardrobe has escaped the coat hangers…

I firmly believe… that I am a child of the Universe. Put it out there, want it, be unashamably you and watch the world unfold before you.

The best thing about being an nzgirl is… on a local (ie within these walls) level, it’s getting to have a sneak preview of all of the amazing new treats that are coming out AND hearing how nzgirl has impacted on reader’s lives. On a bigger scale, it’s the strong female heritage that allows me to be who I want, do what I aspire to do and say what I feel. Make the most of it girls! That and all of the gorgeous beaches!

Rosie Thompson
Campaign Manager

My role with nzgirl is…Campaign Manager. Basically my responsibilities include managing bookings, site trafficking and reporting, and working closely with the editorial team to integrate an advertisers brand into nzgirl.

When I’m not at work, you can find me… enjoying the beautiful view as I run along the Waterfront, hanging out with my gorgeous baby nieces, batch-hopping with friends, catching up over dinner with the girls, or chilling out at home watching a DVD with my partner…oh and of course enjoying a refreshing cocktail in the sun!

I firmly believe… that life swings around in roundabouts, or as hottie Timberlake put it “what goes around comes around!” I am a strong believer that if you do something selfless for others, then you will get rewarded and receive the same love back.

The best thing about being an nzgirl is… the amazing opportunities. Us girls in NZ are blessed to have the freedom to grow on both a personal and professional level.

Fiona Lees
Direct Ad Sales Manager

My role with nzgirl is… Direct Ad Sales Manager.  I look after all the direct advertising so I’m talking and meeting new people every day, building relationships and getting nzgirl products out there where they meet the needs of our current clients and lots of new ones!   I work closely with Tee and Rosie to identify sales opportunities for different products that we can develop across the site.

When I’m not at work, you can find me… hanging out at One Tree Hill, it’s literally my back yard; increasing the size of my wardrobe, after seven years in the UK I’m loving getting to know NZ designers again (but finding it hard to live without H&M); learning more about fishing at my friend’s family bach at Totara North; buying food magazines and recipe books, pouring over the recipes and hitting the kitchen, something I’ve recently fallen in love with but is fast becoming an addiction.

I firmly believe…in being honest. You can’t go wrong if you just tell the truth. Obviously some situations requiring bending the truth slightly but if you don’t deviate too far things can’t go too wrong.

The best thing about being an nzgirl is…the freedom and lifestyle. Through all the places I’ve travelled we really do have it the best.
