Job title: Talent Development Specialist (People and Culture)

Work experience: I'm a passionate Talent Development Specialist, working in the new People and Culture division. As part of my role, I partner with stakeholders to seek specialist advice and successfully deliver projects in the Entry Level Talent Programs space. My team and I just delivered a revamped Induction Program for our new Graduates, Cadets, Scholars and VET Cadets. We included an Amazing Race, Hackathon, Panels and Guest Speakers. I have extensive experience in project management in the areas of culture and engagement, diversity and inclusion, digital and internal communications. Prior to this, I worked as a Project Officer and Graduate at Transport. I have also worked with Westpac and Pacific Magazines as an Intern.

What are you looking for in a mentee? What can you offer?

I'm currently a Mentor for another Graduate and really enjoy sharing my experience on the program and my public and private sector experience. I would like to continue to offer advice, knowledge and experience, and also, be an enthusiastic Mentor.

What do you like to do in your own time? (Hobbies)

I enjoy spending time with my beautiful partner, family and friends, playing netball and watching Brooklyn Nine Nine. I also care for two fur babies - a dog called Marley and a rabbit called Bambi.
