Kia ora, I’m Tamsyn, a Youth Worker here at Challenge 2000. I was raised in sunny Nelson before moving to Dunedin to go to the University of Otago, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Education and via distance learning from Praxis with a Diploma of Youth Work. I live in the Northern suburbs and I enjoy spending time with friends and whanau, exploring new places, walks in the bush, reading, baking and eating good food.

I joined the Challenge 2000 whanau in 2020 when we moved to Wellington in 2020. My work at Challenge is with the Transition and Mentoring Services as well as supporting practice of the Youth Work team as Community Team Leader. I am passionate about seeing people discover their strengths and achieve their goals, it is a privilege to work alongside so many rangatahi and their whanau .
