What inspired your career journey, and what led you to your current role?

After studying my bachelor’s degree in Sports Management & Outdoor Recreational Leadership, i started working at Doxa as a university placement student at the Malmsbury Camp.

i am inspired by working with such a wide demographic of students and groups, learning about students’ different backgrounds and watching students embrace into the camp programs in different ways, in both City Camp activities and Outdoor Activities at the Malmsbury Camp.

I enjoy working in an environment that brings me challenges, both big and small. Stepping into the Manager role has allowed me to experience new challenges and am excited to bring my best to help the team reach their goals.

What do you enjoy most about working here? 

I love working with our amazing team of staff, both out on program where i can see our staff thrive in their group leading abilities, as well as in the office where our amazign staff get all things completed behind the scenes that make our job day to day run smoothly.
