Samantha Cole

Project Officer

Born and bred in New Zealand, but absolutely blossomed in Australia.

My professional background is fairly diverse, having worked in New Zealand and the United Kingdom before calling Australia home some three years ago. With experience spanning Management, Commerce and International Business my career has included working for the Department of Internal Affairs in NZ and BVS Training in London – the UK’s leading provider of video-based health and social care training.

I have always gravitated to roles with organisations that peak my interest. But four condition precedents have served as my career compass.  You see, I have always needed to work in environments where:

1. My ambition is encouraged;
2. My problem-solving zeal is embraced;
3. My sarcastic wit (I prefer to simply refer to as wit) is appreciated; and
4. A place where my love of people is equally shared by my colleagues.   

And when the four coalesce, magic happens.  So, to have found myself working as the Village’s Project Officer is literally a dream come true.
