Sharyn is a rural girl from Southland, being brought up surrounded by agriculture. She knew that she would never have a 9-5 job, sitting behind a desk for the rest of her life. After studying at Lincoln University, Sharyn went on to work in the agriculture industry for over 30 years, and in particular The New Zealand Merino Company. Sharyn specializes in Lifestyle and Rural properties in the top of the South region, a career move she wonders why she didn’t make earlier.

If your considering selling your Lifestyle or Rural property, call her today.

The project was sponsored by Creative Communities, Trash Palace, Golden Bay Workcentre Trust and Golden Bay Community Board.
