Shona Maclaren

Finance and Bookings Officer

I am originally from the Isle of Lewis, growing up a Gaelic speaker. In my early 20’s I moved to Holland and then Germany (Europe) to live and work, before moving back to the Island and working as a receptionist in a local hotel.  In 2009 I moved to the Highlands, living initially in North Kessock before moving to Munlochy. I joined RVA (now CSI, Ross-Shire) in June 2018 as Finance Officer, over the years my position has grown to include bookings for community transport and the Ferintosh Community Bus.  Most of my working life has been in business administration with an interest in finance.
I have worked in many sectors throughout my life to date, and starting with RVA (now CSI, Ross-Shire) was my first job working within the third sector.
I enjoy sewing, baking, quilting, reading and being in the outdoors
