Welcoming Kristy Niemand to Integreat Queensland.

Integreat Queensland would like to introduce our new Gladstone program coordinator, Kristy Niemand.

With a background in hospitality, administration, events, and program coordination, Kristy believes her broad range of skills is essential for personal and professional development and said she is excited to take on her next journey.

“I’m excited about bringing my skills and experience to the team to help grow the programs Integreat Queensland provide to the community,” Kristy said.

“Working alongside people and providing my assistance not only brings me happiness but also aligns with my belief in spreading kindness and offering aid, whether within the circle of family, friends, or in the broader community.

“By working together, I believe we can make a bigger impact and ensure our programs are making a positive difference in people’s lives. Whether it’s brainstorming new strategies, helping with logistics, or offering a fresh perspective, I’m here to contribute and collaborate.”

Born and raised in Vanderbijlpark, South Africa, Kristy made a life changing decision and moved with her husband and young son to Australia in 2019.

“As of now, we have been living in Gladstone for three and a half years and our affection for our new home and the community around us has only grown stronger,” she said.

“Australia is such a beautiful country. Moreover, the warm and welcoming nature of the people here has made our experience even more wonderful.”
