Claire Williamson is making her way in the rural sector by knitting together multiple talents.
Just named at the Primary Industries Awards' as the sector's Emerging Leader, Claire is a mortgage broker helping rural people into their first home, but also a fashion designer with her own label - Velma and Beverley.
That came about after wanting to boost the wool sector in New Zealand and her failure to find a colourful coat she liked.
She is also a member of the Rural Women NZ board and co-host of the women in farming podcast Black Heels and Tractor Wheels.
She talks to Kathryn about how she fell into the home loan business after starting her career in sports management.
