About Me:
After completing my Honour’s Degree in Marketing Communication and a short stint at an Advertising Agency, I decided that that crazy world definitely wasn’t for me. Little did I know that the universe had a sense of humor and I would end up being catapulted into an even crazier industry in the near future…
So after a few months off, some soul searching and coming to the conclusion that I should have been a trust fund baby (my bank balance wasn’t in agreement though), by pure chance (or destiny) I ended up on Roxy Affiliates doorstep and joined the infamous Garth Wilby in the Affiliates department. Thick skin and an occasionally dark sense of humor stood me in good stead for what at that time, was a very male dominated industry.
Over the years, the industry being the dynamic one that it is, has changed and developed continually. I moved up the ladder, and Roxy Affiliates under the leadership of our two directors handled each and every one of these changes successfully. In the last year or so the company has grown beyond recognition to the point where I barely know everyone’s name!
Despite the changes though, I have met some of the most amazing people in this industry, many of whom have challenged me, helped me to grow and inspired me to do things I would never even have dared dream of. The fun, friendship and community that exist in our “bubble” are not something one comes across in many other industries. So I count myself privileged to experience this, have it be part of my life on a daily basis and call it “work”.
