Meet the Team

Hi, I’m Christian, CEO of Oxygen. I’m passionate about leading a team that puts people first — whether that’s our clients, tenants, or staff.

With years of experience in property management and business leadership, I’m committed to driving innovation and delivering outstanding service in everything we do.

I believe in fostering a positive workplace culture where everyone can thrive and contribute to our shared success. It’s a privilege to guide Oxygen as we continue to grow and support our community.

Hi, I’m Lynley Horne, Wellington Regional Manager at Oxygen. I’m passionate about supporting our team and ensuring our clients receive the highest standard of property management service.

With extensive experience in the industry, I focus on building strong relationships and fostering a collaborative environment where our team can thrive. I’m proud to be part of a company that values professionalism, integrity, and dedication.

Hi, I’m Jamie Richardson. I started my career with Oxygen in 2006 and I’m proud to be an L4 Accredited Property Manager.

I love that every day is different and presents new challenges. Getting to meet lots of new people and being a solution-based property manager keeps the job exciting and rewarding.

Outside of work, I am just as passionate about netball and spending quality time with my whānau.

Hi, I'm Brenda! I've been with Oxygen for 11 years.

Outside of work, I’m happily married to Dave, a Mum and Stepmum to five, and a Nana to four—soon to be six.

Sleepover Saturdays are a regular thing at our house, with the grandkids often staying over. We’re enjoying our semi-rural lifestyle, where raising chickens and tending to our vegetable garden has become a weekend obsession. Our little dog, Milo, completes the family.

Hello, I am Dyanna! As a Business Development Manager at Oxygen, I work across the Hutt Valley and Wellington. I thrive on building personal connections and I bring a positive, energetic attitude to everything I do. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable professional to assess your home or investment property, don’t hesitate to reach out to me today!

What they say about me:

"We have been clients of Oxygen for over a decade, and throughout the years, they have consistently proven to be reliable and trustworthy. Their strong market knowledge and proactive approach have been invaluable, especially in keeping us informed about legal changes from a landlord’s perspective. Oxygen has guided us in selecting the right tenants and has handled every aspect of property management with a high level of professionalism. They are responsive to queries and skilled at addressing any concerns we’ve had promptly and effectively. We particularly want to commend Dyanna Kinraid for her professionalism throughout the entire process — we were very impressed with the service and her attention to detail. We highly recommend Oxygen as property managers in the Wellington region."

Hi there, I’m Aileen. With 9 years of experience, I have a strong passion for everything I do, both at work and in my personal life.

At work, I pride myself on being loyal, hardworking, and approachable.

I always maintain a positive can-do attitude, believing that no job is too big or too small. I treat every property as if it were my own, giving my all to both owners and tenants.

I provide transparent communication and often go above and beyond to ensure every property receives the same level of attention—whether it rents for $400 a week or $1,000.

Outside of work, I love to spend my time renovating, painting, and upcycling. I have a very strong interest in interior design and I also enjoy brunching with friends. If there is any time left you can find me in the garden.

Whether you’re an owner or a tenant of mine, I’m here to help, and I look forward to working with you!

Hi, I'm Cushla. I’ve been working in property management for six years now and have had the pleasure of being with Oxygen for the past four. I hold a Level Four Certificate in Property Management, which I completed during the COVID-19 lockdown—a definite silver lining during a challenging time!

I’ve also just recertified in First Aid, because you can never be too prepared.

Before property management, I came from a retail and banking background, and I truly believe that experience has helped me build a strong foundation in customer service and problem-solving—skills I rely on every day.

When I’m not working as a Senior Property Manager, I enjoy spending time with family and friends or simply unwinding at home. It’s that balance that keeps me grounded and able to provide the best possible service to my clients.

Hi, my name is Hemant, and I’ve been with Oxygen for the last 5 years.

Originally from Melbourne, I have 10 years of experience in the property management industry, which has helped me gain the skills and knowledge to do the best job for my owners and tenants.

I hold a New Zealand Certificate in Residential Property Management (Level 4) and a degree in Property and Real Estate from Deakin University.

Outside of work, I’m a big sports enthusiast. You’ll often find me following cricket, AFL, football, and Formula 1. I’m a passionate Chelsea and Collingwood fan!

I also enjoy discovering new places to eat and experiencing the local food and drink scene.

At home, my wife and I enjoy spending time with our two kittens, Raikou and Mewtwo.

Hi, I’m Sandy, and I’ve been with Oxygen for nearly 17 years. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of the property market and am dedicated to providing excellent service to both landlords and tenants.

I take pride in ensuring that every property letting is handled smoothly and professionally. Being part of the Oxygen team means working alongside people who are as committed as I am to supporting our clients every step of the way.

With a friendly approach toward my tenants and owners, I pride myself on going the extra mile for my clients. Originally from Invercargill, I have worked as a property manager for the past 8 years, gaining the skills and experience I now bring to my role at Oxygen Property Management. I hold the NZ Certificate in Residential Property Management (Level 4).

I have diverse expertise working with a wide range of tenants, from embassy officials to students, allowing me to effectively manage tenants from all backgrounds.

I am passionate about all things property and DIY. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, as well as attending local festivals and events with my dog, Kobe.

Hi, I'm Athena! I’m a property manager cadet with Oxygen and have been for over a year now. I really enjoy my job because it allows me to learn a lot of new things.

In my spare time, I love playing my instrument, and I'm also a music teacher. I enjoy the experience of playing and performing music with my students.

My name is Binnie, and I have been a Property Manager with Oxygen for 3 ½ years. I originally came from the travel industry, which allowed me to transfer some of my relevant skills and qualifications into Property Management.

I absolutely love the variety in my day-to-day work. I'm a relationship builder, so working with owners, tenants, and contractors to achieve positive outcomes is something that gives me satisfaction every day. Property management is essentially project management, and I like to think it's one of my strong points.

Outside of work, I have a son who plays for the reserves of the Wellington Phoenix, which keeps us all busy. At home, we enjoy spending time with our beautiful one-year-old Cavoodle.

I hold a Level 4 Property Management qualification, which helps me stay informed about the legislation and legalities of our industry.

One of the best parts of working for Oxygen Property Management is that the entire team shares a common goal. We work together and have a great time along the way.#

I feel really lucky to have landed in this role and look forward to many more years in the industry.

I started as a property manager in May 2025, and I'm loving it! Every day brings new challenges and new learnings, but the people here are incredibly helpful, which makes this new journey both fun and interesting. Management is engaging, encouraging, and understanding—I truly feel they want me to succeed as much as I do. Having a team around me with a vast range of knowledge, all willing to share what they know, is incredibly refreshing.

With two adult children and a child in intermediate school, I love watching the youngest play sport, while the older ones visit Mum at least weekly—if not more. It fills this Mumma’s heart with warmth. I love having a close-knit family and couldn't imagine it any other way.

My husband and I both love triathlon, so we spend nearly every spare moment training. I’m currently preparing for my second Ironman-distance triathlon in June. After working full-time, spending time with family, and training an average of 10–15 hours per week (at peak Ironman training), I'm not much of a party animal after hours—but I do love the chance to go out for dinner and enjoy a few wines with friends when I can.

I feel I lead a balanced life, and now that I’m at Oxygen, life really has gotten even better!

Hi, I'm Dana! I've been with Oxygen since October 2020, and I really enjoy my role as a property manager.

I'm now back and loving my two roles: Sales Support Administration for New Business and Property Management, so my days are never the same.

In my spare time, I enjoy social events and catching up with family and friends.

Hi, I’m Juliet. I joined Oxygen in October 2024, and I’m learning the tricks of the property management trade from our team, who have extensive experience and knowledge to share (and are whipping me into shape fast)!

I have a design degree (majoring in Interior Design) and many years of customer service experience working with clients, contractors, and various teams on projects.

I was born and raised in Wellington, and outside of work, I dabble in a little DIY, soak up the local scenery and events, and, most of all, hang out with my family.

With over 10 years of experience in property management, I began my career in property management finance before discovering my passion for the field. This led me to pursue a career with Oxygen in 2015. I later moved to Brisbane, where I worked as an Onsite Building/Property Manager, overseeing the management of a 40-storey high-rise apartment building in Brisbane's CBD. I then transitioned to commercial property management, managing retailer tenancies in shopping centres.

In 2022, I returned to Wellington and rejoined Oxygen. I am passionate about real estate and eager to expand my knowledge in other areas of the industry. Prior to my career, I completed my papers to become a licensed Real Estate Salesperson.

I value people and my relationship with others, which is why building trusting relationships with my owners, tenants, and contractors is so important to me. Trust builds a solid foundation that helps me to connect with others and make them feel comfortable.

Outside of work, I enjoy relaxing, baking, ministry work at my church, working on home renovations and interior decorating, and spending quality time with family and friends, along with my beautiful, peaceful Labrador. I also love powerlifting whenever I get the chance to train and compete.

Hi, I am Nicole, and I have been a Property Manager at Oxygen since May 2023. Prior to that, you may have met me at reception if you have popped in before then.

I take pride in building good relationships with property owners and tenants.

My background as a travel agent also taught me the importance of great customer service and attention to detail, skills I still rely on today.

Outside of work, I love spending quality time with family and friends. There’s nothing better than a good BBQ, enjoying good food and laughter together.

I’m also passionate about music and enjoy attending concerts whenever I can. Additionally, I enjoy watching movies and TV series, which is a great way to unwind after a busy day.

Creativity is something I turn to now and then — I find it’s great for inspiration when the mood strikes!

I have been with Oxygen as a Property Manager since June 2024. So far, I have enjoyed the transition from my previous role as an Office Manager in the security industry and look forward to the challenges that Oxygen will offer.

Outside of work, I watch a lot of sports, including F1, netball, and rugby league. I have also been the Manager of the Sacred Heart College Senior A Netball team for the past two years. I enjoy working with younger kids to encourage them to continue playing sports after they leave school.

In my free time, I love to cook, try new Asian foods, listen to music, and have a good laugh.

Hi, I'm Tracey, and I’ve been with Oxygen as a property manager for two and a half years.

I love it so much that I’m currently completing my New Zealand Certificate in Residential Property Management (Level 4) to further enhance my ability to serve both owners and tenants. This qualification will help me better manage the various tasks we handle each day.

Every day is different as a property manager. The ability to adapt and think outside the box to come up with on-the-spot solutions that benefit both owners and tenants is what makes the role so rewarding.

In my downtime, I enjoy baking, dancing, and spending time at the beach and on our lifestyle block with my husband and four kids.

Hi, I’m Vicki, and I’ve been with Oxygen since 2018, starting at reception before transitioning into a Property Manager role a few months later. I completed my Level 4 Property Management qualification in 2020.

In my role, I’m focused on building strong, positive relationships with tenants, property owners, and contractors. It’s all about ensuring that we provide a warm, healthy home for tenants while taking great care of our owners’ assets. We rely heavily on our trusted contractors to help us deliver this service.

One of the things I truly appreciate about working at Oxygen is the incredible support and camaraderie within the team. There’s always someone ready to lend a hand or offer advice, making the work environment both collaborative and inspiring.

When I’m not at work, I enjoy relaxing with my family, playing golf when I can, and watching as much international cricket as possible—much to my wife’s displeasure. I’m also a bit of a Star Wars fan, so I rewatch the movies and TV shows regularly, once again, much to my wife’s displeasure.

Kia Ora, I'm Nicole. I am a married mum to three (sometimes annoying) young adults and a nan to two beautiful granddaughters.
