Meet our newest team member

Jyn from Volunteer Marlborough

Meet our newest team member, Julie, who joined the VM team a couple of weeks ago, taking on the role of Coordinator for Volunteer Services!

Julie moved to Blenheim 22 years ago and, along with her husband, Paul, and two children, now calls Marlborough home.

Julie is currently on the committee for Churchwood Park Scouts, and she helps out with street appeals whenever she can.

Before coming to VM, Julie has been a teacher for 8+ years and a realtor, and spent some time in the tourism sector. While she enjoyed these careers greatly, Julie's heart is centered around helping people wherever she can, so this new role sits well with her. Supporting Marlborough's volunteers to help others is something she is very much looking forward to.

Read Julie's full bio in the 'About' section of our website (link below).
