Abbey joined JY Australia in August 2021, working as the Operations Officer – Professional Services in the Sydney office. Abbey is responsible for ensuring that the Executive Team maintains a high level of engagement with JY Australia’s consultants and stakeholders by facilitating travel, phone calls, meetings and organisation of general business operations. In addition to her role in the operations team, Abbey assists with the facilitation and workshop delivery of JY Australia’s Indigenous Development Employment Program.
Prior to her role within JY Australia, Abbey worked for Qantas as a Business and First-Class International Cabin Crew Member where she developed a high level of attention to detail in all aspects of service delivery and emergency procedures. During her time at Qantas, Abbey was seconded to work from Qantas’ UK base in Heathrow Airport where she assisted the HR team with recruiting new cabin crew members.
Unfortunately, Abbey’s employment with Qantas was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in her returning home to Australia. Since returning to Sydney, Abbey utilised her customer service skills to obtain a managerial position in the hospitality industry where she was responsible for overseeing and managing the daily operations of a busy café.
Joining JY Australia represented a pivotal career shift for Abbey. To support her career transition and pursue her future goals, Abbey has committed to ongoing education, enrolling in a Diploma of Human Resources which is supported through JY Australia’s Professional Development Allowance Policy. She is also actively engaged in her local Toastmasters International Club, operating on the Executive team where she is enhancing her public speaking and leadership abilities.
In her spare time, Abbey enjoys catching up with family and friends and doing outdoor activities like bushwalking and surfing with her partner Mitch.
