New staff member - We welcome our College Administrator, Claire

I'm pleased to inform you that we've taken on a new staff member at the office. We recognised that we needed one additional staff member, and following a successful recruitment process appointed Claire Martin to the position. Claire will be the College Administrator, supporting the DPD with managing Fellow recertification, managing our accounts/bookkeeping, supporting several committees and committee members, and supporting the GM in quality improvement projects. Claire has written a short introduction:
Hi, I’m Claire and I’ve just started as the new College Administrator. I am very excited to join RNZCUC and keen to progress further in team coordination and administrative support. I’m originally from Ireland and have been living in New Zealand for nearly 2 years, after finishing my studies at home I have been travelling to different countries before calling NZ home. I have always worked in a high-level business support function and am hoping to contribute my experience to the College. In my spare time, I enjoy a good run, playing the guitar and a trip to the movies.
I will be managing all Fellow related queries and administrative matters so please feel free to contact me at claire@rnzcuc.org.nz
I look forward to working with you all.
