Phoebe Pratt

Kia Ora! My name is Phoebe but most people call me Phoebz or Phe Phe. I am 23 years young and I'm a born and raised CHCH gal! I currently work full time as a Training and Development Coordinator after wrapping up my studies at UC in 2022. In my spare time you will often find me on the golf course or spending time with my nearest and dearest. Couple interesting facts about me, I once completed 5 Mountains in 5 weeks and very passionately competed in jump jam competitions in my younger years. I have been following along with Dear community since it was just starting and after attending a few events and seeing people making connections I fell in love with this community whole heartedly! I can’t wait to be a helping hand for people to foster new connections and build relationships as this is so key for our wellbeing! I can’t wait to meet you at the next DC event!! Phoebz xx

Lorelie Nacis

Hi there! My name is Lorelie Nacis (pronounced Loh-reh-lee). I’m 23 years old and a mum to a 2-year-old girl. I’ve spent quite a bit of time as a student of self, where I’ve learned that I absolutely love creating meaningful interactions and getting to know people from all walks of life. This love for connection has led me to Dear Community, where I hope to make a positive impact and share laughs with incredible women.

You’ll often find me chasing a toddler around, reading a good ol’ book, exploring, going on walks and enjoying the serenity of everyday life. I can’t wait to meet you and be part of your delightful DC experience!

Emma Paterson - Book Club

Kia ora! I’m Emma, I’m 24 years old, and I moved to Christchurch about a year and a half ago.

I’m a big cat person (but certainly not anti-dog) and love anything creative - painting, drawing, cooking, etc! I’m also a big bookworm and film lover, always drawn to stories that make you think. I appreciate meaningful conversations, and I love meeting new people and hearing their stories.

I started going to Dear Community events when I moved here and wanted to make new friends, and along the way, I’ve made some amazing memories with incredible people. Now, as a leader, I’m excited to help others do the same. Can’t wait to see you at an event!
