About the presenter

Rebecca Strange from NZ Visa Connections

"I did my immigration applications and then went on to help many of my friends and family, including Helen, now my business partner here at NZ Visa Connections!
When my son was born, I wanted a more flexible schedule. So, I moved away from social work and undertook the Graduate Diploma in Immigration the first year it was offered. Then I got my license, and what a rewarding journey that has been.
I feel proud to help people settle here. I understand the positive and negative challenges that come with emigrating. It’s indescribably moving to support people’s move to a safe, welcoming, and stunningly beautiful place.
I especially enjoy working with people of different cultures. Knowing that I have a role to play in enriching the cultural tapestry of our community here in Aotearoa is a fabulous feeling.”
Very helpful re employing from overseas.
