“I feel a strong values connection between my values and those that Meridian believes in as a corporate. I love that we follow shared behaviours (be a good human, be in the waka and be gutsy). It’s real stuff; walking the talk. That makes me happy! I love working in an environment where I can be busy, get stuck in, and be trusted to do great work.”
