Mortgage Adviser | FSP No. 770511
Squirrel Mortgages Ltd | FAP Licence No. 136364

Proudly recognised as one of New Zealand’s Top Mortgage Advisers 2025 by NZ Adviser (NZA).

Angela knows mortgages like the back of her hand, after all she’s spent nearly two decades in senior banking roles across ANZ and Kiwibank before bringing her expertise to NZ Mortgages, and now Squirrel.

She’s all about making homeownership happen, no matter your situation. Solid advice? Check. Deep industry knowledge and bank connections? Also check. A knack for keeping things simple while securing the best mortgage deal? You bet.

Outside of work, Angela’s all about family and friends, travel and bit of friendly competition, whether that’s on the tennis court or passionately backing the Warriors. (It’s their year, right?)
