    About Us

     

    Mary Chai - Pharmacist / Director

    " I was born in Malaysia but grew up in New Zealand. I can speak Thai and a little bit of Mandarin.
    My love for chemistry and strong desire to help people’s health has led me to pursue a career as a pharmacist.
    I graduated in 2007 (Bachelor of Pharmacy, Auckland University) and became a registered pharmacist in 2008. My first role as a registered pharmacist was being a sole charge pharmacist.
    I love being a pharmacist as I get to have the one on one interaction with customers/ patients without the restrictions of appointments. My belief is to treat every customer the way I want to be treated - with respect, giving honest, caring and accurate advice about health and/or products. I believe I have build a team with the same beliefs as myself.
    I also love to bake and decorate cakes. I am a self taught baker so I would love to meet anyone who can teach me more.
    I look forward to seeing you in store, even if it’s just for a chat about cakes ;) "

     

     

    Kim-Emmanuelle - Trainee Technician

    " My name is Kim-Emmanuelle but commonly known as Kim or Kim-E. I was born in New Caledonia but moved to Rotorua when I was three because my father is a New Zealander. I’ve grown up in a French speaking household (my mom’s first language), I am therefore bilingual.

    I have been lucky enough to work in this profession for five years. Throughout my time at Fairy Springs Pharmacy I believe that this is where I have found my career path and am now studying to be a Pharmacy Technician. I find joy in being able to care for people and pride myself in making sure each individual is treated with their own personal touch.

    Outside of work I am equally passionate about football/soccer, where I have played for most of my life (21 years). Playing football/soccer has enabled me to travel all around the world and I am grateful for all that I have seen and experienced through the beautiful game. I give credit to my workplace as they have been very understanding of the passion I have for the sport, they have never thought twice about allowing the time off work I’ve needed to continuously play at the highest level I possibly can.

    I look forward to seeing you to provide our best possible services and share a discussion or two of the topics mentioned above. "

     

    Judith Meek - Fully Qualified Pharmacy Retail Assistant

    "I may be the newest member of the team at Fairy Springs Pharmacy but I have 10 years of pharmacy experience behind me!

    In 2018, I completed my Certificate in Pharmacy (Community Pharmacy Assistant). I'm currently working towards a Bachelor of Health Science, which I started in early 2020.

    I am very passionate to always keep my knowledge up to date about existing and new products and its ingredients. I pride myself on my natural health knowledge.

    In my own time, I can be found out in the garden with my fiancé Mike (fun fact: I have 17 different varieties of Lavender!) and I enjoy running in the Redwoods - I am currently training for a marathon later in the year. To wind down, I enjoy good food and a couple of glasses of red wine with my friends and family!"
