JUNE NEWSLETTER
NEWS FROM KAZ FROM OZKaz has got a job as a Branch Liaison for Holmes Colleges in Melbourne. The college is private and provides diplomas and bachelor degrees for international students, so Kaz’s experience with MN really helps. She is looking forward to the role but knows that it will be a steep learning curve, so can imagine being very busy for the next couple of months. She will keep us in touch.
Kaz has a new email address should you wish to contact her.
