If you’ve ever wondered what makes a Pinnacle Team Events employee tick then you have come to the right place! Each month we will be taking 5 minutes to chat with each member of our staff about their lives both inside and outside of work.
What I love about being a Pinnacle Facilitator:
Fun times, great company, yeh really love the crew there!
How long I have been working for Pinnacle:
Since September 2010!
My favourite Pinnacle team event to facilitate:
Probably the Survivor Challenge, they’re all fun, I really enjoy the large groups conferencing locally to where I live in Newcastle/The Hunter as it feels like a Pinnacle family reunion with all the staff there!
Most embarrassing moment as a Pinnacle facilitator:
Haven’t had one really… ah yes I have! We were doing a Survivor, I was facilitating multiple challenges within 25 minute blocks and was currently doing Nailed It. The ball from Elimination Football was kicked towards my area from the nearby tennis court. I picked the ball up and attempted to kick it back quickly but it rebounded off a palm tree back on to the current Nailed It table resulting in water bottles and Nailed It materials exploding everywhere. I think about 40 people saw it and clapped, cheered and laughed at me…
My favourite hobbies are:
Surfing, yoga, gardening and collecting seeds, hiking, observing nature… ha not kicking a footy!
Band I’m listening to at the moment/podcast recommendation:
Recently discovered Tom Misch, album Geography..

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?:
Love my hometown area of Redhead/Dudley/Kahibah… The dream is to live and work in Australia, possibly Tasmania or somewhere on the east coast NSW, for 9 months of the year and then continue exploring yoga and surfing in Asia/India/Spain/Indonesia 3 months a year…
