Tell us about yourself?
I am originally from the beautiful sunny Kapiti Coast which is a 45 minute drive up from Wellington. I absolutely love the beach and the city but I also love being in nature and Queenstown caught my eye back in 2021. The main reason for coming down here was to study at the Queenstown Resort College and gain some valuable work experience. I developed a strong interest for Human Resources during my time studying Hospitality Management and progressed into the role of People & Culture Advisor at Millbrook. I enjoy being social with friends whether it is going on a long walk, catching up for coffee, or enjoying a few drinks on a sunny day. I also have a massive passion for health and fitness. I am always looking for healthy recipes and spend many early mornings in the gym.
What does your typical day at Millbrook look like?
My day is filled with lots of different tasks. Whether it is on-boarding a new team member, reading up on immigration changes, facilitating a mental health workshop, or having a confidential conversation. I could list so many different tasks as our day is always filled with a variety - I enjoy this as it keeps it exciting.
What do you love most about your job?
I enjoy working with people, getting to know them and helping in any way I can! I have a big passion for learning and development and I feel that there is always something new to learn in the People & Culture space which I love. Driving positive change and ensuring that we hold lots of well-being events and courses is also a big passion of mine.
What is it that makes Millbrook so special?
Millbrook is a very supportive environment. We have such a diverse culture which makes it so exciting getting to meet new team members from all over the world. I think we have some great benefits and training opportunities here. Everyone is super friendly and I feel that we all value each other.
What is the best advice you've ever been given?
I have received lots of great advice from close and inspiring people in my life. I think my top three would be the following:
- Don't be afraid of change. You may lose something good, but you may gain something even better.
- Work hard, stay humble.
- Believe in yourself, you can do anything.
