Fiona Shepherd
Welcome to Driving Miss Daisy Cashmere. My name is Fiona Shepherd, I have been the owner of Driving Miss Daisy Cashmere since September 2022. I am originally from the New Forest in the UK but also spent time as a child living in West Africa and Trinidad. I have been living in New Zealand since 2008.
I am a mental health nurse by training with experience in the areas of general adult mental health as well as in the areas of intellectual disability and older persons mental health. After 25 years of working in the health system I decided that I wanted a change of direction, but to still be able to help people to live their best lives in their own communities and hence Driving Miss Daisy seemed like a good fit.
