Our Advisory Board
• ensuring AYP is around for many years to come, and
• AYP stays true to its member-focused vision and values.
Andrea became an AYP member in 2015 when she moved from Wellington to Auckland for work, she joined because she wanted to surround herself with like-minded young professionals. Andrea joined the Committee in 2016 because she loved the idea of helping young professionals be their best selves through the AYP platform. Since then, she has been involved in in various ways from helping out in a general capacity, to overseeing AYP’s strategy and looking after secretary duties.
Andrea has recently moved to Melbourne with her partner. She will be staying on with AYP as an advisory board member, and AYP would like to thank Andrea for her continued dedicated service to our members.
Since joining in June 2008, Andrew has seen AYP transition through many stages – particularly the growth of members. As the Social Media/Community Manager, he helped build the Facebook page from around 700 likes to more than 5,000 – one of our biggest promotional platforms today.
For his day job, Andrew has created his own company and runs an independant mortgage and finance advisory service. Where he helps Young Professionals navigate the bumpy & sometimes treacherous roads of getting a home loan to buy their first house.
