What are your professional/industry-related qualifications and background?

I have a Bachelor of Business degree and a Bachelor of Creative Industries degree. Since graduating from Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, I’ve worked in various industries, expanding my marketing expertise. Including Legal services, Beauty services, RSL clubs and Hospitality Venues.

What do you like most about Chilli?

I love the collaborative working environment, where I work alongside strategic and creative industry professionals towards shared goals for clients. Bouncing concepts off like-minded professionals is a rewarding and career-building experience for everyone involved.

What aspect of your role do you enjoy the most?

Working with clients from a diverse range of sectors and using formulated digital advertising strategies to achieve rewarding results for their business. Clients’ success is our success.

What motivates you to do what you do here?

Continuous career growth, exploring new marketing trends and understanding how AI is shaping the future of the industry. The marketing landscape is ever-evolving, and I appreciate the challenge of learning something new every day.

If you could switch your job with anyone else within Chilli, whose job would you want?

I’d switch roles with someone from the Pepper team for a day. I’ve always enjoyed the creative aspect of content production, and I have a keen eye for photography. I enjoy capturing images with my Canon camera at pristine locations on the Sunshine Coast on my weekends.

What’s a project or experience you’re most proud of in your career?

I have a diverse portfolio in strategic and creative marketing, making it challenging to pick just one. I’m proud of each project in its own way. Designing a beer can label for a commercial brewing company was probably one of my standout favourites. Developing the design on a screen, writing the description and legal requirements, and then holding it in my hands was a memorable experience.

What's your hobby or what do you like to do outside of work?

My typical weekend activities include climbing Mt. Coolum, walking the Noosa coastline, brunch dates, and Pilates. I look forward to a cappuccino and a smashed avocado with fetta at my favourite local cafe with my closest friends.

What inspires you or provides your favourite motto/mantra?

“Opportunities don’t happen, you create them.”

This mantra has always resonated with me throughout life. I’m a firm believer that hard work always pays off in the end. The never-give-up attitude has always stuck with me.
