Jessie May Dean

Board Member

My family has been warmly embraced by the Kaitiaki community at HPELC, where both of my daughters have thrived. Serving on the Board is an opportunity to give back to a place that has given us so much. I bring a decade of experience in payroll and workforce management, including senior leadership roles across complex public-sector environments. With a strategic and people-focused approach, I’m committed to supporting strong governance and positive outcomes for tamariki and whānau.
