About Me

Kate Craney, New Zealand

Hobbies and Interests

Outside of my work hours I enjoy several activities; on the weekends you will find me hiking or at the beach. Caring for Animals is also one of my passions - I volunteer for the RSPCA NSW in my spare time which is very rewarding. Travelling is another thing I enjoy - I love visiting new places and having the chance to experience different things.
