Office Administrator

Liz has over 29 years of experience in administration and bookkeeping. Coming from a background in education, she embodies qualities such as attention to detail, effective planning, compassion and problem solving which are transferable to any profession. Such qualities, as well as an affinity with mathematics and her eagerness to learn independently, saw her role in Campion Design Group evolve as Office and Accounts Manager. In 2019, Liz and her husband decided on a sea-change which led them to work at Anna Plains Station for 2 years. Liz’s role there was both in administration and as a station cook. It was during this time at Anna Plains that Liz was introduced to KPCA so the progression to work with them was a natural one. Liz already had a good understanding of what KPCA stood for and the great work that it did for the cattle industry in the Pilbara and Kimberley regions. As a child, Liz spent several years living in Derby due to her father (a civil engineer), working on the Gibb River Road. In 1990, Liz returned to Broome for her honeymoon and has been drawn to the north of WA ever since! She is married with 2 grown up children
