She is a member of the Auckland Urban Design Panel and a part-time lecturer at Huri Te Ao, the School of Future Environments at AUT University.
Jade lives and works within her home area of Whangārei, where she is currently leading projects to support the re-establishment and development of papakāinga within the district and leading the cultural narrative integration component on public space, civic, commercial and education projects within the city.
