Karla Macdonald - Communications and Projects Coordinator
Karla has joined our team after returning to Aotearoa after 19 years living overseas. She is responsible for the coordination of our client and stakeholder communications and a growing and diverse range of projects and events to complement our support services and support available for our grandparent and whanau care clients nationwide. Karla is passionate about life, work and helping others - and comes from a background of mining, building, healthcare, retail, and hospitality. Combining her core and life skills Karla has come full circle with where she started to where she is today. She is proud of her roots, with her upbringing in the Waikato – where she started voluntary roles in her community at a young age and right through her schooling years. A highlight for Karla was fulfilling homecare duties as a health care assistant (before, after school and weekends) for her first client at the age of 16. She furthered her role as a health care assistant until her move to Australia in 1999. Karla is proud to be of Ngāti Māhuta, Ngāti Pou, Ngāti Raukawa.
