With a career spanning law, international sales, luxury marketing, and lifestyle writing, Monique brings a rare combination of commercial insight and creative flair to Queenstown’s property market. She began her career as a solicitor at Bell Gully, one of New Zealand’s most respected law firms, before completing a Bachelor of Commerce and Law (Hons) and a Postgraduate Diploma in Marketing. Monique then went on to build more than a decade of global experience managing accounts, brands, and teams in New Zealand and the USA for world-leading wine and spirits houses.

Her international experience as a senior lifestyle writer and wine judge in London and New Zealand sharpened her ability to identify what makes something truly stand out — whether it’s a fine wine, an architectural detail, or the story behind a home. Contributing to global luxury lifestyle publications and New Zealand’s Home magazine, Monique developed a talent for showcasing unique qualities with impact, a skill she now brings to presenting properties in the Queenstown market.
