Yuki is originally from Japan, living in New Zealand since 2019. Her original plan was to travel the world and then return home — but her plan changed when she fell in love with her very first destination, New Zealand.
Her journey was filled with challenges: facing the uncertainty of the pandemic, navigating multiple visa categories, and adapting to life in a new country. Through her own determination — and with the support of many along the way — she was able to grow, learn, and thrive.
Having experienced the ups and downs of building a new life abroad, Yuki is deeply passionate about helping others achieve their goals.
Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, swimming, and travelling.

“Immigration Adviser” is a specific license required in New Zealand to provide immigration advice, issued by the Immigration Advisers Authority (IAA), a government entity. To obtain a full license, candidates must complete a one-year graduate diploma and fulfill a two-year supervised provisional period.
In New Zealand, only licensed immigration advisers, or those who being exempt (such as lawyers), are permitted to provide immigration advice. Breaching this regulation could result in significant penalties - a fine of up to NZ$100,000 and/or imprisonment for up to seven years.
