Kirsten Philipsen
Kirsten came to New Zealand from Denmark in 2002 and joined Wellink in September 2004, bringing with her many years of experience working with young people from all social and ethnic backgrounds.
As a teacher and school principal, Kirsten spent 24 years working with young adults in an alternative boarding school system. During that time she embarked on a number of adventures including leading study tours to India in old buses with young adults, teaching teens to sail, and travelling through Scandinavia, Russia and Europe with groups of young people. She has diversified from her work with young people at times, managing a drop-in centre for people who experience mental illness, and also spent some time working with IHC in New Zealand.
Kirsten has a passion for supporting young people to build up their lives and make their dreams come true. Together with the great team at Wellington Central she takes the lead in developing a dynamic, vibrant and joyful youth environment that equips young people to go out and live great lives.
