  • Victoria joined the iAM Board in 2026, bringing a background in health project management and a strong connection to the Invercargill and wider Southland community. She has experience across health, social services, and community initiatives, and is passionate about supporting people and creating opportunities for connection and inclusion.

    Victoria’s connection to iAM grew after seeing her son attend his first iAM Games in 2025. As a parent of a child with low vision, she has seen firsthand the importance of accessible opportunities and the difference inclusive activities can make for individuals and their whānau. This experience inspired her to become more involved and support iAM’s work in creating opportunities for people of all abilities across Murihiku.

  • Megan is the Inclusion and Capability Manager at Inclusive Activity Murihiku (iAM), bringing a strong background in sport, recreation, and community participation. Previously, she worked as the Participation Coordinator for Golf NZ in Southland, supporting opportunities for people to engage in sport and recreation.

    With a passion for physical activity and community connection, Megan enjoys playing football, lawn bowls, golf, and running. She is also involved in football as both a coach and referee, contributing to the development and delivery of the game at a community level.

    In her role at iAM, Megan is committed to increasing access to inclusive sport, recreation, and physical activity throughout Murihiku. She works alongside individuals, whānau, clubs, schools, and community organisations to identify and reduce barriers to participation, promote inclusive practices, and create opportunities for people with disabilities to get involved in activities that interest them.

    Megan believes everyone should have the opportunity to experience the physical, social, and emotional benefits of being active. Her work focuses on building confidence, strengthening community connections, and supporting environments where people of all ages and abilities feel welcome, included, and able to participate in ways that work for them.


  • Brooke is the Youth Representative on the iAM Board and has been actively involved since 2023. Brooke brings valuable lived experience to the team as someone who lives with a physical disability. Her firsthand understanding of the barriers that can prevent young people from fully participating in sport, play, and recreation helps shape iAM's commitment to inclusion.

    Growing up in Southland, Brooke experienced challenges accessing inclusive sports, facing exclusion from PE and limited para-sport opportunities. These experiences fuel her commitment to creating more inclusive spaces for the next generation. Her passion for advocacy extends beyond iAM - she currently serves on the Halberg Youth Council and the Ministry of Youth Development's Youth Advisory Group, where she works to drive change and improve opportunities for young people with disabilities.

    Brooke is also a para swimmer and is studying at the University of Canterbury. Sport and recreation have given her a strong sense of community and belonging, and she is dedicated to ensuring that other young people have the same chance to thrive and connect through sport.
