Lily Zhu

Kaiwhakahaere Utu Kaimahi | Payroll & HR Administrator

Originally from China, my family and I moved to New Zealand in 2017. We now happily live in Albany and truly enjoy the life we have built here.

I bring over 15 years of experience in human resources and administration across both New Zealand and China. I am known for my ability to learn quickly, manage multiple priorities, and stay highly organised, which enables me to work efficiently and support others effectively.

I feel honoured to be part of Kaitiaki Kindergartens. It is deeply rewarding to support our kaiako, knowing that our work contributes to giving tamariki a strong and positive start in their education and early lives within our communities.

I also value being part of the Support Office team. Together, we work collaboratively to ensure our teaching teams are well supported and empowered to do their best work every day.
