Administration Officer

Erin is our permanent part time Administration Officer and has a few years of experience of Administration in the Finance Sector. You’ll probably see her in the background, pottering around and helping our Koorana staff, Board and parents from behind the scenes.

Gymnastics was a big part of her life and household growing up. She has spent many years dedicated to the sport through different facets of the gym, as an athlete, a Kindergym parent and as our Administration Officer.

Any email you send to info@kooranagym.com.au will come through to Erin, and you’ll often see emails from her regarding uniform orders, any gymnasium updates and housekeeping snippets from around the gym.

Don’t be afraid to approach Erin. She’s always happy to help out with any questions you may have.
