Possibly like many career EAs, it all started with working the phones! It was the early 90s and I had just arrived from Adelaide and landed a job as at ACON – the AIDS Council of NSW. It was at the peak of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, so it was really full on, but it taught me the importance of caring for your “client” and being part of a community to make things better. After 10 years in that sector, I moved into PA roles in recruitment, IT, and retail – but it was in 2006 when I started at the Sydney Opera House, I knew I had really found my spot!
