Carlie Reynolds
Programme Coordinator
Carlie joined the Momentum team in January 2021. Before joining us, Carlie owned and operated a residential drug and alcohol rehab facility in Kumeu. After running the facility for three years she decided to step back from the drug and alcohol sector but still wanted to work for an organisation that was making a tangible difference in people’s lives – and here she is!
Outside of work Carlie loves to travel. In the summer you can find her at Northland’s beaches and in the winter on the slopes. She has an 8 year old son and two English bulldogs, all of whom she is obsessed with.
