She has led various organisations and projects, focusing on workforce development, community engagement, education, New Zealand heritage, art, contract management, and international development with a Pacific focus.

Maree's journey began in her hometown of Eketahuna, where she left at 18 to pursue a Diploma of Teaching and Bachelor of Education at Massey University. She later pursued postgraduate studies in leadership and sustainable development. Throughout her career, she has lived and worked in different parts of New Zealand, from remote rural areas in Northland to Palmerston North and Auckland, as well as spending some time in the UK.
