In this instalment of Staff Profiles, we have a chat to Tracey from the Programs Team!

Staff Profile Questions:

• How long have you been working for AKKF?

I was a Volunteer from 6^th June 2017 until July 2019. I was then employed with AKKF and have undertaken roles in Administration, Volunteering and now as a Program Coordinator for over two years.

• What does your job entail?

As a Program Coordinator I am responsible for organising our Activity Days and Camps, as well as the facilitation and delivery of our programs including CONNECT to our young people and their families.

• What do you like most about your job?

I absolutely love being able to organise some new and exciting programs for our young people. To get to see them face-to-face on programs or on CONNECT via Zoom is the most incredible feeling!

• What do you find most rewarding about working for AKKF?

Those smiling faces that come on program are the best and most rewarding part of my role with AKKF.

• What do you like to do when you aren’t working?

When I’m not working, I like to walk my two Miniature Schnauzer dogs at the beach every morning at 5am so that I can see the sunrise. I also enjoy getting to the gym to keep myself fit so I am ready for when our AKKF Camps start up again.

• If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

I would like my superpower to be “flight” – then I could go anytime I wanted to see my youngest daughter who lives in the US!

• Pineapple on pizza? Yes or No

Pizza is not a pizza without loads of pineapple on the top – so a massive YES!
