Treasurer
Karina Bohle
I have been on the committee since November 2022. A member that was leaving the committee approached me to see if I would like to be apart of it. I thought how great to be able to give back to the club that has been a big part of my family. I really enjoy giving back to the gymnastic community, and a big part of this amazing club that supports local families by offering recreational and competitive gymnastics classes for their children and providing youth with a coaching development program. My favourite thing about MIGS, is the people. A fun fact about me, I am from Chile, and this is my 20th year in NZ. I like the art of embroidery, and I have never been able to cartwheel. My daughter didn’t take after me with her Gymnastics!
