Pg1|2 Adrian TeriakiLinkedIn Tēnā koutou katoa. Ko Maungatautari tōku Maunga, Ko Waikato tōku Awa, Ko Tainui tōku Waka, Ko Ngāti Haua tōku Iwi, Ko Te Iti O Haua tōku Marae, Ko Teriaki tōku Whanau, Ko Adrian tāku ingoa. Born and raised in the Waikato, I bring a grounded, people-first approach to health and safety. My career spans retail, food, tourism, and the maintenance industry — a sector I believe is under-recognised in safety research and practice. Over the past three years I’ve had the freedom to explore what genuinely good H&S looks like, and recently graduated with a Bachelor’s in Occupational Health and Safety, with further postgraduate study planned. As an NZISM member I’ve valued the diverse perspectives our community offers. Now I want to help grow that community locally. My goal as Waikato Branch Manager is simple — more connection and shared learning. My experience as a Hamilton Pride board member has sharpened my event organisation skills, and I’m ready to put those to work for us. I’d love to see Waikato H&S professionals building something great together. I hope you’ll give me the chance. Whāia te mātauranga hei oranga mō koutou — Seek after learning for the sake of your wellbeing. Amy ZinserlingLinkedIn I am a passionate health and safety professional, an active NZISM member, and HASANZ registered. I currently work as a Senior Health and Safety Specialist across a range of industries. I care deeply about people and the role our profession plays in influencing safer, healthier workplaces. I am particularly focused on bringing people together and supporting the growth of H&S professionals within our region, and have seen first-hand the value strong local networks can have on both individuals and the wider profession. Through my work, I see the value of creating spaces where H&S professionals can openly share experiences, challenges, and lessons learned. I am passionate about supporting professionals at all stages of their careers by creating inclusive environments where people feel comfortable to connect, learn, and grow. As a member, I have often travelled to events in other regions, which has highlighted the opportunity to further strengthen our local Waikato offering. If elected, I would focus on building a connected, engaging and valuable branch that provides meaningful opportunities for members to connect, learn and grow closer to home.
