Hi, my name is Jayde, and I feel incredibly privileged to be part of the 2025 NBS Dancing for a Cause. I work full-time as a Financial Adviser at BNZ and have been in the banking industry for 10 years. Outside of work, I am a proud mum to two girls, Harper and Ava. Born and raised in this beautiful part of the country, I returned home to Nelson in 2020 after living in Wellington for several years. In my spare time, I stay busy with my daughters and lead an active lifestyle, exploring the outdoors with family and friends and hitting the gym.

I have always loved dancing and began at the age of 6, learning ballet, jazz, and contemporary dance with Trudy Fargher and Gillian Francis. Although it has been 18 years since I last set foot on stage and my coordination might be a bit rusty, my passion for dance still remains strong.

I am thrilled to be part of this incredible event and look forward to collaborating with the other contestants to raise as much money as possible for an amazing cause. The Nelson Tasman Hospice provides invaluable support to our community, and this is a fantastic opportunity to give back.
