I joined Officeworks in November 2004 in the store team, and I’m currently working at the Tuggerah store.

I love working with my team, we are a small store so it feels more like a family. We’ve achieved a lot together - opening the Tuggerah store was a real highlight for me, as was when Mona Vale (where I was working at the time) won Store of the Year.

The biggest change I’ve experienced in the past 15 years was the shift from blue stores to white. The entire restructuring of how stores look and feel really had such a strong impact - now our stores are brighter and more engaging for customers and teams to be in.

One of my biggest highlights was being appointed store business manager at the Kotara store. It’s such a great team and I loved my time there.

I’ve been fortunate to move around and have career growth throughout my time with Officeworks. I started as a part time team member at Gosford, and then transitioned into a full time role in the store. After six years at Gosford, I moved to Mona Vale as a coordinator, before moving to Hornsby in a similar role. From there, I moved to take on the role of store business manager at Kotara, and worked there until I was given the opportunity to open the Tuggerah store, where I am today.
