The Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) has appointed Belinda Woolrych as its new Education Director reporting to the Chief Executive.
Chief Executive Bindi Norwell said that Ms Woolrych brings with her significant experience in education and property sectors.
Ms Woolrych has worked for a number of years for the Woolworths Australia Group as Change/Transformation and Learning & Development Manager. She has also worked as a Trainer and Assessor for TAFE New South Wales. Most recently, she was Director of Learning & Development for the Property Makeover Academy in Sydney, Ms Norwell said.
Online learning strategy
“I am looking forward to Belinda joining the team as we drive forward a new strategy of online learning, mixed with more traditional classroom based learning, particularly as in the last six months, REINZ has had to move a significant portion of its education and training to an online model as a result of Covid-19,” she said.
Ms Woolrych is also an author (her first book, Rightsize Your Home: The Empty Nester’s Guide for a Stress-Free Downsize was published in 2014), a speaker and is the Founder of Papillon Styling & Renovations.
Ms Woolrych said that she recently moved to New Zealand to take up the role.
“It education and real estate, which is two of my passions. I am looking forward to adding value to education for REINZ members contributing for collective growth,” she said.
