Laura Stoddart
Originally from the Lake District in Northern England, Laura has called New Zealand home for nearly seven years. She began her career in Administration and HR 14 years ago and, over the past four years, has specialised in Payroll, where she has found her true focus.
Laura has spent much of her time in New Zealand working across the intersection of Administration, HR, and Payroll within healthcare organisations. She enjoys fast paced environments where there is always a new challenge to solve and takes pride in ensuring that the behind the scenes processes run smoothly and effectively to support the wider team.
Outside of work, Laura can often be found training for a half marathon, an ongoing personal goal, planning her next travel adventure, exploring new bars, or attempting the latest trend, currently perfecting her sourdough.
