My role with the NZAGRC is extremely diverse. I maintain an in-depth overview of all office operations, staffing, finances and communications, and report directly to the NZAGRC Director. Day to day, I am responsible for understanding and reconciling the revenue streams of the NZAGRC, managing day to day expenditure, advising on protocol and procedure, developing guidelines and training materials, and coordinating outwards communications online and in-print. This position requires creative thinking and also an intensely analytical skillset. My unique blend of curiosity, pride and passion, coupled with a love of process, has ensured continued growth and development for me, and for the NZAGRC.
