Courtney is an amazing bonus.
who are genuinely passionate about your industry and, most importantly, your staff. You want the women in your organisation to push themselves out of their comfort zone, reach for the stars and truly succeed in their future. I believe that the program Sarah and I are putting together for the Women in Leadership Program is one that will make positive changes and encourage women within hospitality and tourism to take leadership roles within your organisation. We have scholarships, networking opportunities, webinars, and masterclasses, as well as mentoring opportunities that will help you and your staff succeed, not only in the industry but in their lives as well. We are really proud of this project, and I cannot wait to share what we have created and work with the industry to really show what women can achieve when we work together. Sarah and I will be travelling around this state over the next few months to share the program and its associated events. Keep an eye out on social media for scholarship opportunities and the chance to work with or be a mentor for future female leaders.
Outside of work, I play roller derby with a group of amazing humans who have completely changed my life and made me believe I can do anything, even when I am not on skates. I am the Vice President of a new organisation in Tasmania which brings awareness, advocacy, and education around the fight to end sexual and domestic violence. And I study Psychology, majoring in Gender and Sexuality Studies at university where I learn about feminism, writing lab reports and get to release my inner book nerd. Each of these life projects just proves to me every day that women are incredible and when we have the right support, we are unstoppable. I wouldn’t be where I am in my career if it weren’t for women encouraging me, giving me opportunities, lifting me up and holding my hand when things got rough. Each opportunity that has been presented to me, has been by a fellow woman who had my best interests at heart and believed in me and my power to succeed. It is through these opportunities that I have gained new jobs, spots on committees and leadership positions.
