Writer Profiles

RICOLENE GOUNDEN has a degree in Industrial Psychology and has been working in the finance sector since she was 19 years old. Motivated by overcoming her postnatal depression, she is now pursuing her love of writing. Her long term goal is to publish a book on her life and testimony. At present, she is focusing on two areas of writing. The first is her poetry, creating an awareness of mental illness, while the second is writing children’s books, helping children to identify with Christ from a young age. She moved to New Zealand in 2015 with her husband. Together with their daughter, they have made Auckland their home. Ricolene loves encouraging and empowering others to live a Christ-centred life through the Holy Spirit.
