Throughout my career I have had obstacles to overcome, sometimes I didn't succeed but I would use this to learn more and try again. I have learnt that the phrase 'try, try and try again' is real. I always have looked at where I want to be and developed a plan to get there, sometimes I have detoured from the route but that's ok, as long as I make it in the end. Believing I will drives me forward.

What do you like about your job and the company?

Being a people centric HR Business Partner I am energised by enabling high performance through to power of our people and to do this we must understand what is important to the organisation and it greatest asset 'the people'. Only then can we meaningfully make a positive impact. This can be achieve through several initiatives such as Learning & Development, positive Employee Relations and fostering a culture conducive of our values 'Trust, Unique & Inspiring'.

Greatest achievements

I wasn't the type of student at school who desired to go to university, so I went straight into the world of work. This taught me many valuable skills which helped begin my career and work ethics. It was when I was in my 30's that I realised what career I actually wanted and enrolled myself into university whilst working full time. I then got the study bug and saw that if I really wanted something I could find a way to work towards it and get it. And now at the grand old age of 46 I am coming towards the end of another university honours degree to work towards my next career goal.

I firmly believe in the value of learning and growth. For me, saying "I don't know" isn't a conclusion—it's an invitation to explore and understand. This mindset, deeply rooted in my upbringing, comes from my father, who taught us that curiosity and persistence are essential traits. Whether it’s acquiring a new skill, trying out a new recipe, or mastering a tool in Word, I view learning as an ongoing journey that enriches both personal and professional life. Every new piece of knowledge adds value, equipping me to tackle challenges creatively and with confidence. To me, learning is not optional—it’s a lifelong pursuit that continuously opens doors.

I have never experienced a colleague saying "no", when I reached out for help, because I didn't understand or know something or had difficulties managing my work. We are all one big team, and everyone keeps looking out for each other, which is something I really missed at my last workplace. Also I feel comfortable really showing myself the way I am. I do not have to act up a persona, to fit the company, but can really be myself, as well as the colleagues can be themselves. Don't put up an act and present yourselves the way you are. You won't regret showing your true colors.
