Janine Mair
I am a Registered Nurse who has spent much of my career living rurally and doing community nursing. Most recently I was with Parkinson’s NZ for 7 yrs in a parallel role. Prior to that I was Practice Nursing and with the Waikato Hospital Diabetes service for many years.
I am a wife, mother to 3 adult daughters and a grandmother of 2. Outside of work hours my happy place is gardening, walking, cycling, cinema and attending theatre with family and friends.
Favourite holiday spots are the glorious South Island and Russell.
