We welcomed the following people to the school in the last few weeks:
- Emily Benefer – PTF Dispensing Optician on Wednesday and Thursday on the Vision Bus Aotearoa
- Donald Crichton – returning to role as Dispensing Technician to cover for Emily in the clinic
- Alehandrea Manual – research fellow working with Jacqui Ramke (currently overseas; we look forward to meeting Alehandrea later in the year)
- Sangeeta Paudyal – research assistant with Jacqui
- PhD student Paul Idowu working with Monica Acosta
- PhD student Shadi Al Ashwal working with Jason Turuwhenua
- Masters student Kevin Liu
Sadly we farewell:
- Sheeja Sajan, Senior Research Programme Coordinator; Sheeja left late in February for a new role in the Faculty of Science and is greatly missed
- Jo Beattie will be taking up a new role as Associate Director of Faculty Operations early in May – a well-deserved promotion; we are very glad she will be remaining within the Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences and wish her all the best in the new position
