Julia Walkinshaw
ICT Lead
In 2024, I moved to the Mangawhai area, fulfilling a lifelong dream of immersing myself in art. Although creativity has always been part of who I am, my career took me down a different path, spending more than 35 years in the technology industry specialising in business architecture and organisational transformation.
These days, I'm fortunate to combine both world, bringing together my geek side and my passion for art. I continue to volunteer my time across several not-for-profit organisations, using my experience in business, technology, and governance to help them grow and succeed. I was recently re-elected to the Mangawhai Artists committee, giving me the opportunity to continue supporting our local creative community while helping shape the organisation's future.
