Jeremy Adams
Operations Manager
I was born and bred in Christchurch, spending most of my time on the East-side, until I moved school to Casebrook Intermediate and then Papanui High and have been here ever since.
I have an incredible wife, Truus and 3 children, Izaak, Kaitlyn and Hannah. As one of the managers at LOOP, you may see me in any and all of the schools we serve in the northwest, make sure you come up and say hi.
I love sport and currently play football, cricket and touch rugby (not at the same time).
Charlotte Carrell
Youth Worker, Creative Arts & Events
I have grown up within the North-West of Ōtautahi, going through Roydvale Primary, Breens Intermediate, and then through Papanui High School. I have grown up with my Mum, my Dad, and my little brother Samuel, but I am lucky enough to have grown up with lots of my extended whānau close by which is pretty cool!
Throughout the week people might see me around the centre, in our Northlands Mall Youth Space. Also in Cotswold Mātāhae School, Papanui High School, and often on a Friday evening, at one of the many school discos we run!
Julz Ngaia
Senior Youth Worker
I grew up on the east side and went to Linwood High School. My dream job was to be a hairdresser which I have been for over 20 years. I have been doing youth work for 2 years. I am mum to 2 beautiful children Jaxon-Hoani and Keretia. I also have a dog named Skout, she is very protective but also loves cuddles. You may find me hanging out at Breens Intermediate, Bishopdale Primary, Northcote Primary and sometimes at Papanui High. I also run a after school girls programme.
Izaak Adams
Youth Worker
I grew up in Christchurch and Fiji. I went to burnside high school.
I might be spotted at Papanui High School, Breens Intermediate, Casebrook intermediate or Cotswold primary.
I run boys groups, mentoring, lunch time activities, support in classes, after-school sports at Papanui High School and NEON!!!!
I like to wear odd socks and crocs. I also love to play any and all sports!!

Jamal Sygrove
Youth Worker
Hi, my name is Jamal Oppong Sygrove, I was raised a only child by my mother and was taught to always be myself and do not apologize for it.
I went to Jean Seabrook Memorial School and Rangiora New life School.
You might find me at LOOP or Papanui Baptist church helping out with Neon on a Friday.
I like old school hip hop and I can touch my nose with my tongue.
Kaitlyn Adams
Youth Worker
I grew up in Christchurch and went to Roydvale Primary, Cobham Intermediate and the Middleton Grange School.
I can be seen at Breens Intermediate, Emmanuel Christian School or Christchurch North College being involved in many different ways, including, mentoring, after-school programs and in-class support.
A passion of mine is Canoe Polo and in 2024, I represented New Zealand at the U21 Canoe Polo World Champs in China.

Bre Davies
Youth Worker
I grew up in the Northwest area, went to Redwood primary, Casebrook intermediate and Papanui High.
You can catch me at Primary and Intermediate schools, the LOOP centre for after-school hangs on Mondays, chilling with the Pep group, and at our youth space in Northlands Mall in the afternoons on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Random thing about me is I can say the alphabet backwards (very fast) and all 50 states in America in alphabetical order!
Jamie Harvey
Youth Worker
I've grown up in Rangiora on a small lifestyle block surrounded by sheep, chickens, and our family dogs over the years. Throughout the week you’ll find me working at Papanui High School, Breens Intermediate, our Northlands Mall Youth Space, Northcity Church and helping at our NEON program.
In my spare time, I love doing a bit of photography and in winter, skiing and snowboarding are my thing! Fun fact: 98% of my injuries have happened at Mt Hutt… and yes, this doesn't stop me going back!!
