Claire-Elizabeth Ramson
I've just spent a year in Wales thanks to District 9930 in New Zealand, specifically my sponsor club of Rotorua Sunrise, and also my host club in Wales, Swansea Bay, District 1150. I am an Ambassadorial Scholar - the longest running scholarship Rotary offers. I can't emphasize enough how grateful I am to Rotary International and Rotarians all over the world, for giving me this amazing opportunity. This scholarship has undoubtedly changed my life, and hopefully enabled me to change other people's lives as well. So, where to start? I guess, with who I am...
Ko Glennora te waka
Ko Tawhareroa toku maunga
Ko Rotoma toku moana
Ko Waiariki te rohe
Ko Ngati Pakeha toku iwi
Ko Rotorua toku wahi
Ko Te Puke-o-Hineheki toku marae
Ko Ethel Rushbrook raua ko George Korte oku kaumata ki te taha ki toku whaea, no Matawai raua.
Ko Nora Watson raua ko Maynard Ramson oku kaumata ki te taha ki toku matua, no Whakatane raua.
Ko Claire-Elizabeth Ramson taku ingoa.
So basically I am from a small place called Lake Rotoma, near Rotorua. I studied Materials and Process Engineering at the University of Waikato, and then moved to Wellington where I lived with my brother and his wife. I am a polymer engineer, and have just finished an MPhil in biopolymers in Swansea, Wales. I'm back in the Bay of Plenty for now!
