Our clinic people

Regan – manager

I was raised in the Hutt Valley and bring a wealth of experience to the Hutt Valley Hearing Trust. I have worked in the private, health, government, and non profit organisations, and I am dedicated to making hearing care easy to access and welcoming for everyone.

I work closely with our Board, our Registered Ear Nurse, Ear Technician and our administration team to ensure our services remain consistent, friendly, and affordable for people throughout our community.

I have family members who live with hearing impairments and understand the importance of early intervention, regular ear checks, and having support available when needed. This personal connection shapes the way I approach my work and the way we deliver our services.

I also enjoy building relationships with local community groups to help ensure our services are welcoming, accessible, and supportive for anyone who may need them.

I recently began wearing hearing aids, particularly necessary in my case for hearing in crowded situations such as restaurants and bars.

Tania – administrator

I have been working in medical based administration/reception for over the past 11 years and enjoy helping to create a welcome experience for customers.

We have lived in the Hutt Valley for many years and have 3 adult children and a recent grandchild who keeps us entertained.

I enjoy gardening, walks, cafes and home renovating!

Our nurses

Ann – ear nurse

I have been a registered nurse NZRN for 38 years at the time of writing.

I have worked as an ear nurse for 15+ years. I find it very satisfying to see my clients leave feeling much better and hearing much clearer. I enjoy passing on education about ear health to my clients and their families.

I particularly enjoy working with children from the age of 18 months upwards.

I have two adult children still living at home and drinking my whiskey.

I enjoy reading, Netflix and socialising with my family and friends.

Cheryl – ear technician

I have 3 children and have lived in the Hutt Valley all my life.
I am a trained Beauty Therapist and have also worked in the hospitality trade in my younger years.

I’ve been with Hutt Valley Hearing Trust since May 2023 and have loved it here, learning new skills and advancing my knowledge.
I really enjoy this job as I get to meet new people and having them leave feeling and hearing 100% better than when they arrived.
