Please share with us your journey in the industry thus far.
I started my media journey in agency land at PHD Sydney. A couple of years in I decided I wanted to go and travel the world, so I headed off to backpack through Central America and then moved to London. I worked for PHD UK as a Planner for two years before doing some more travelling and then moving back to Sydney where again, I re-joined PHD as a Planning Manager. I was very lucky that they were super supportive of me wanting to travel! When COVID hit I had been considering making a move to the “dark side” otherwise known as Sales. The more I progressed in my career, the more I thought that I may be more suited to a publisher role. Once we came out the other side of COVID a role at VMO came up which I couldn’t pass on! I’ve now been with VMO for two years and have absolutely loved every minute of it!
What do you enjoy most about working at VMO?
The growth and development opportunities within the business, the culture and most importantly - the people (absolute legends!).
What do you do for fun and on the weekends?
If the sun is out, you will find me at the beach! I’m a pretty social gal so usually have some sort of birthday/event to go to as well.
What do you do to reset?
Pilates and running are my favourite ways to re-set and re-focus. I find they both really help to clear my mind if I am ever frazzled or stressed.
What are 5 words your friends would use to describe you?
Just put this one to the team - bubbly, passionate, authentic, creative, and athletic.
