Alumnae

I am a senior public servant working as an executive in the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action. I'm environment professional committed to making a real difference through a range of intersecting disciplines (climate action, business, public policy and First Nations advancement). I've studied at the University of Melbourne, Monash University and Griffith University in the areas of waterway and coastal management, business management, language and sustainability. I am known for leading high-performing teams to find innovative ways to achieve meaningful outcomes with both large investment envelopes and limited funding. In addition to being Executive Officer of the Victorian Marine and Coastal Council, I am also primary parent (or Chief Toddler Officer) to my three-year old daughter, Lucy. At school, I felt pulled between every possible discipline (I did Physics, Drama, French, Literature, Business Management and Maths) and my career path has allowed me to navigate a range of meaningful experiences that has embraced this mix!

I am currently a Law Lecturer at Monash University, and a final year Law PhD student at Deakin Law School. In my PhD, I'm looking at free speech, democracy and social media. My work days are often split between researching, writing, and teaching law students. Prior to starting my career in academia, I was a lawyer at a corporate law firm called Herbert Smith Freehills. I also worked in the performing arts space as a film producer, composer and director, and in social media at Network Ten'sThe Project. I studied Arts/Law at Monash University. During my degree, I studied abroad in France and Italy and I also volunteered as a Paralegal at Refugee Legal, which provides legal assistance to disadvantaged migrants and refugees seeking asylum in Australia. Outside of work I love going to the theatre and to concerts, writing music, going to the beach and travelling.

After graduating from Sac in 2010, I did an Arts degree at the University of Melbourne and then in 2014 went straight into a Masters of Publishing and Communications (also at UoM). After graduating from my Masters, I moved to London in 2016 and worked in various office jobs before getting a communications role at Transport for London. I moved back to Melbourne at the end of 2018 and started a new job working in communications for the Department of Justice and Community Safety. This started my career in the Victorian Government! I got a permanent role there and was promoted, and then in 2020 moved to the Department of Education, where I worked on COVID comms for schools. In 2021, I moved to a more senior role at the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing in Emergency Communications and have worked to support communities through floods, storms and bushfires.

I'm currently a merchandise planner at Hugo Boss. I am responsible for the outlet channel across the SEAPAC region which includes Australia, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. I studied Fashion and Textile Merchandising at RMIT & went on to complete my Masters in Entrepreneurship also at RMIT. I have worked for various retailers before Hugo Boss including Nike, Accent Group and Sportsgirl. Outside of work I enjoy spending quality time with my friends enjoying Melbourne's restaurants/ bars.

After completing a Bachelor of Communication Design followed by a Masters of Business & Marketing, I worked independently as a graphic designer for 6 years. Whilst running my own design business, I was a full-time contractor with Crown Hotels (graphic designer). From there, I am now Art Director for Crown Resorts working alongside a wonderful creative team of designers, our Creative Lead and Head of Creative Services. I am responsible for brand execution and direction for all Crown Hotels Australia-wide, restaurants & bars, retail, and other major campaigns and partnerships. Currently, a large portion of my portfolio consists of planning and executing photoshoots for both the Crown brand and the many sub-brands, for example new restaurants, campaigns, internal imagery etc. where I get to work alongside leading international photographers and creatives to bring our vision to life and update the overarching brand identity. Outside of work I love to spend time with my fiance and two golden retrievers at home or find new local wine bars for drinks and long lunches with the girls.

I currently work as an Osteopath in a private practice in Glen Iris. After graduating high school I studied Health Science (Majors in Exercise Science & Sport Coaching) at Deakin University, with the plan to of working as a Clinical Exercise Scientist. Unfortunately this wasn't the career path for me, however I knew I still wanted to work in sport or healthcare. After graduating I decided to take some time off part time work & study to travel for 3 months around Europe, before heading back to university to complete a double degree in Health Science & Applied Science (Osteopathy) at RMIT University - this was the best decision I made! I now work in a private practice treating & managing different patients & their conditions every day. Outside the clinic I also work as a casual contractor with Carlton Football Club and enjoy travelling, trying new cafes, and catching up with my old school friends.

I am currently employed by Victoria Police as a Supervising Lawyer in the Specialist Sex Offence Prosecution Unit. My role is to prosecute criminal matters that involve victims of sexual offences who are children or have a cognitive impairment. I work alongside a hybrid team of lawyers and police across the entire state. After I finished school, I studied a double degree of Law/International Studies. During this time I travelled to Jordan and Qatar for a unit, and undertook a number of internships in the legal industry. Outside of work, I love to travel and eat at different restaurants with friends.

Im currently a Senior Analyst within the Financial Crime Intelligence team of a major retail bank, where I provide oversight of financial crime risks and controls for the Senior Leadership team and lead product, channel and business unit risk assessments. I studied a Bachelor of Laws at ACU, and since then I have been admitted as a Lawyer and obtained my Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist qualification. I didn't always know that I wanted to get into this field, but by accepting opportunities as they have appeared, I have been pleasantly surprised with my career journey to-date. Outside of work, I love photography, going for hikes, trying out an extensive list of Melbourne's cafes, and playing netball.

I'm currently working as Program Support Officer at NWMPHN. My main role is to support the Primary Priority Care Centres (PPCC) in our region. Additionally, I support our Statewide lead to coordinate the PPCC program across the state, closely collaborating with other PHNs. I play a crucial role within a larger team dedicated to strengthening primary care, actively engaging with diverse external stakeholders including PPCCs, the Department of Health, Ambulance Victoria, and hospitals. My academic background includes a Bachelor of Health Science and a Graduate Diploma of Health Promotion from Deakin University, in addition to several certifications. After completing my initial degree, I took a break from work and travelled, also visiting my parents who had relocated overseas. This pause provided me with the opportunity to plan my next career steps. Beyond work, I enjoy spending time with friends, attending festivals, exploring Melbourne's bar and food scene.

Following my graduation from Sac, I found myself standing at a crossroads, uncertain of my career direction. However, one thing was clear: my passion for healthcare. This led me to pursue a degree in Pharmacy at RMIT University, where I later specialized in IVF medicine. I later transitioned into the field of medical devices, assuming the role of Product Specialist. In this capacity, I support surgeons in the effective utilization of our products, primarily in Orthopaedic Surgeries. Additionally, I lead a team of 8 professionals spanning across Australia and New Zealand. Seeking to further expand, I am currently in the process of acquiring my Master's in Business Management from Monash University. This decision was driven by my desire to merge my healthcare expertise with a solid foundation in business principles. Despite the demanding nature of balancing work and studies, I remain dedicated to my role as a Pharmacist part-time. Beyond the realms of professional pursuits, I enjoy spending quality time with my friends and family. I participate in activities such as playing netball, am currently renovating our home, and am obsessed with my dog. These personal endeavors serve as a vital balance to my professional endeavors.

I am a solicitor at the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH), in the Child Protection Litigation Office. I am part of a team of solicitors who advise and act for Child Protection in Children's Court proceedings. My role involves appearing in court, negotiating and advocating to resolve matters in the best interests of children. I studied Law at Monash University and took a lot of interest in the ways the legal system impacts on families, children and vulnerable people, leading me to volunteer in the family court and at a community legal centre while at uni. I then worked a a family lawyer before I moved to DFFH. Outside of work I am a competitive powerlifter and I spend most of my free time training, or trying out new restaurants and going to art exhibitions.

I completed a Bachelor of Medicine interstate at the University of New England/University of Newcastle. I completed the first 3 years in Armidale, a regional town in NSW, before moving to Newcastle for the final two years at John Hunter Hospital. I also completed overseas placements in India and Nepal as part of my training. I fell in love with the coastal city of Newcastle and stayed there for two years as a doctor, before moving to Orange NSW where I worked as a junior paediatric doctor then had some time off to travel. This year I moved back to Melbourne to start my training to become a paediatrician. In my spare time I enjoy running, going to the beach and love being able to go to the footy again!

I'm currently working as a Graduate of Architecture at Silver Thomas Hanley (STH). STH specialises in healthcare and is responsible for many of Australia's leading public and private hospitals. I work closely with the firm's directors to document drawings, consult with clients, and coordinate with consultants. I have a Bachelor of Arts (History and Media & Communications major) from Melbourne University. During this degree, I discovered my interest in Architecture. Therefore, after completing the degree, I utilised university pathways to transition into the 3-Year Master of Architecture program at Monash University where I undertook an intensive year of study before joining the regular Master's program. During my course, I travelled overseas to Monash's Prato campus to study Italy's rich history of Industrial Architecture. I also began my journey at STH as a Student of Architecture to gain work experience before graduation. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my friends, going to local exhibitions, and going to concerts.

I'm currently working as a copywriter at Social Garden, a digital performance marketing agency. Here, I'm part of the creative content team, and get to liaise with clients, senior stakeholders in the business, and nearly all producers (designers, social media managers, campaign managers) in the company, it's a really rewarding, collaborative space! I took a long-winding path at uni (including a short course in Italy!) to end up with double degrees in Marketing and Arts (media & communications) and a concurrent diploma in French, but I can thank hands-on internships and overseas travel for giving me the right experience to get where I am today. My life outside of work is a lot of time spent around Melbourne with friends, family, my beautiful dog, and whatever new book I can get my hands on — some things don't change.

I am currently pursuing a Masters degree in Public Health at Monash University, with a specialisation in epidemiology. Throughout my studies I have completed a placement at the infectious diseases epidemiology unit at Monash University. This placement has given me the opportunity to conduct a research project on rabies and health literacy, and attain invaluable workplace experience. After high-school I completed my Bachelor of Science at The University of Melbourne with a major in immunology. I have always held an interest for health and science, but was not sure where I wanted to go within that space. Between my bachelors and Masters I took some time off to reflect on my career goals and explore the world a bit more. Outside of studying I enjoy working on my craft projects, spending time with my close friends, and travelling.

I'm currently working as a grade 2 Occupational Therapist at Western Health. I'm based at Footscray Hospital working in the acute service specialising in general medicine, endocrinology, nephrology and neurosurgery. I work closely with patients to increase their independence in their daily activities to support a sustainable discharge home from hospital. I studied a Bachelor of Applied Science and Master of Occupational Therapy practice at La Trobe University directly after completing school. After graduating from university I jumped straight into the workforce as it was the height of Covid and travel was not on the cards! I took a break from work last year and spent 6 months travelling throughout Europe. I returned back to full time work December last year and am loving settling into my new role focusing on supervising junior staff and facilitating university student placements. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends, reading I'm part of a a few book clubs) going to pilates and experimenting with cooking!

I am currently a medical student at the University of Melbourne, completing a Doctor of Medicine. Prior to this, I completed a Bachelor of Biomedicine and an Honours year which focused on quality of life for people with diabetes. I also commenced a Master of Public Health, which I have paused to pursue medicine but intend to finish at a later date. It has always been my dream to be a doctor and it certainly took a lot of hard work to get there. I took a slightly longer pathway to entry than some of my peers, but I enjoyed every step of the journey. As a medical student, I get to spend every day in the hospital, shadowing doctors and getting involved in patient care. I also work part time as an accountant for an insurance company. In my spare time, I love to cook, spend time with friends, go on road trips and try out new restaurants.

I studied a bachelor of science and a masters of biomedical engineering with business. I started working casually at Seer during my undergrad and was hired full time after I graduated. I now work in Supply chain and logistics which was not where I thought my career would go, but I love what I do now. I work closely with manufacturing teams, our customers and suppliers. I enjoy knowing that what I am doing is making a difference in patients across the country, and in the US. My job has allowed me to work with people across the globe and I have met some truly inspiring people. Outside of work I like playing sports and music, much like I did at school, and relaxing at home.

I'm currently working as a CRM & Loyalty Specialist for Country Road Group, assisting to manage and optimise the loyalty programs for each of the brands (Country Road, Trenery, Witchery, Mimco & Politix).

I'm currently working as a Producer at Creative Agency called Snack Drawer. Whilst the agency has a range of clients, I work within an internal team for Netflix ANZ. My job is to make things happen whether that be making sure daily content is delivered, managing press junkets with talent, or anything else in between. I studied Communications (Public Relations) at RMIT. Despite COVID consuming a large portion of this time, my goal was to do as many internships as possible to gain networks, experience and figure out what part of communications was for me. After working in talent management, PR and a stint in England at a boarding school, I came home to find out that my passion for film/tv, working with people and organisational skills could actually be turned into a career – which is how I found and fell in love with producing!

I am currently a provisional psychologist studying a Master of Clinical Psychology at RMIT University. I am completing coursework, a research project, and I see clients at our Health Clinic to help them with their mental health problems (such as anxiety and depression). I did a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) at Monash University prior to my masters degree. Between these courses, I took a year off to travel and gain some experience in the psychology field. After my two year course is completed, I am hoping to be employed by one of the clinics I do my placement at, and am also eager to work in private practice at some point. I love working with all kinds of people, and have been interested in psychology ever since I studied it in high school. I'm really excited for my future as a Clinical Psychologist!

I'm currently working for Channel 9 in their digital team as a Sports Journalist. I am the head of AFL down in Melbourne, with my team based in Sydney and get to follow footy teams all around the country, interview players, attend events and even work with talent on Nine's footy shows. Before that, I was 1116 SEN's National Morning News Reader for two years. It included 4am wake ups every day, but I loved being able to hone my craft on live air and make some lifelong mentors and friends. I also worked at Cricket Australia as an Editorial Assistant. Before that, I completed a long list of sports media internships that date all the way back to when I was just 15 years old. I went to La Trobe University and studied a Bachelor of Media and Communications, majoring in Sports Journalism and Journalism. While studying full time for three years, I also worked full time on the radio for SEN and Cricket Australia. I would be up at 4am for work, then finish by midday and spend the rest of the afternoon and night studying. It was a very intense time period, but I thrived off being on the go! During my schooling years, Sacre Coeur was gracious enough to allow me to complete unique sport media internships, including with St Kilda Football Club and AFL Victoria. I also got to study in Year 11 at Indiana University in America for a month in a Journalism course that my mum stumbled across. I have been blessed with very a very supportive mum and dad, brother and fiance, who have helped me to follow my dreams. Just ask my dad, who used to drive me two hours away on Thursday mornings before school to do a local radio show at age 17, just how supportive he has been! Away from work, you'll find me down at Kardinia Park with my family, watching our beloved Geelong Cats, or planning my wedding for next October at Sacre Coeur!

I'm currently working as a Registered Nurse on a Neurosurgery ward at The Alfred hospital. I work amongst a team of Nurses, Doctors and Allied health professionals, providing care for patients who have had brain and spinal injuries in a high intensity acute environment. I previously studied a Bachelor of Nursing at Deakin University where I was able to attend multiple placements at different hospital and wards, gaining experience and guidance for where I want my career to go. After graduating university, I began my Graduate Nurse Program with Alfred health where I worked on a Short Stay Surgical ward for six months and now currently have rotated into the role I am in now for another six months. Outside of work I enjoy travelling with friends, exercising and discovering new restaurants around Melbourne.

My secondary school experience at Sacré Cœur was shaped by a deep involvement in all aspects of school life, ranging from GSV sport to music, debating and school productions. I encourage all students to immerse themselves in these opportunities, as they have formed my closest friendships and my most fond memories of secondary school. In my role as School Captain, amidst the challenge that was year 12 , I learnt the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance and building a strong support network. This year, I have deferred my tertiary studies with the hope of travelling and gaining some perspective on life outside of Melbourne. Since finishing school, I am enjoying having more time to play sport, cook and explore new places with my family and friends. Having held a passion for science from a young age, I would love to pursue a career in medicine or health sciences in the near future.
