I worked at Muchea Store for 7 years between from 2000 to 2007. I started at the store whilst in Yr 8 and worked Friday’s after school and Sundays competing tasks such as general kitchen hand duties, stacking shelves and cleaning.

As my skills developed, I ran the kitchen myself on Saturday and Sundays and with  considerable years of experience in the store under my belt, was responsible for training new employees. I developed a training package that included all Muchea Store processes and allowed for consistent training and skill development across employees.

In my later years at the store, I conducted Accounts Payable and Receivable activities but still enjoyed my time in the kitchen cooking when required!

My time at the store allowed me to purchase my first car, pay my way through University and move out of home and live an independent lifestyle at the age of 21. I competed a degree in Marine Science with Honours in Environmental Engineering at UWA whilst working at the store and since completion, have worked as a Project Manager for Perth based environmental and engineering firms.

I’m now on maternity leave and looking after my 7 month old baby boy whilst completing my Master of Business Administration (MBA) at UWA.

My time at Muchea Store not only provided me with fantastic financial benefits that set me up in my younger years, but also gave me good customer service, time management, and general business operations skills. I believe that to succeed in any chosen career you need to have a well rounded skill set, both practical and interpersonal, and Muchea Store provided me with the opportunity to develop this array of skills.

My pizza and fish and chip making skills are also quite handy for family and friends on the weekends!
