Get to know our wonderful people.
Craig McKenzie: Manager
Craig is the Manager of Compass Seminars. Originally from a background in Child and Adolescent social work, Craig now oversees the general operations of Compass and his key areas of responsibility are trainer recruitment and relationship management, event hosting, and the development of new business.
Craig always prefers talking (about anything) to working so you can be sure he will be up for a chat if you call the office.
He is famous (in his own mind) for his own unique rendition of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody - not that this talent is always appreciated by others in the Compass office.

relaxation.

Rosalind McKenzie: Operations
Ros is one of the Directors of Compass Seminars, and also the office financial wizard. She has an honor's degree in Social Work, and a professional background in Child and Adolescent mental health. Drawing on her past Clinical practice as an adolescent clinician, Ros also plays a crucial role in refining the choices made around our seminar programme, ensuring that these are aligned with the latest best practice.
She's the office fashionista at Compass, when she's not curating chic vibes in the workplace, she's off walking amongst nature, podcast in hand, plotting her next overseas travel adventure.
A proud dog mum to the dynamic Labrador duo Max and Leo, she also has a couple of big human kids too, but let's be real, it's the dogs who get all the attention now.
Ros can be reached at ros@compass.ac.nz

Maree is our event coordinator. She is our go-to gal for all things organized and efficient to make sure our seminars run smooth.
When she's not at work she's busy renovating a new project on her home and having a great time with her four gorgeous children, spending days at the beach, walks, fishing and always planning the next family adventure.
