Courtney CrickSales Representative & Events Specialist - Solid WasteMeet Courtney
From Intern to Events Specialist
When Courtney Crick started with us as an Intern, she had no idea she’d become our Queensland Events Specialist in just two years. Her first experience of Veolia was as an Event Assistant Intern for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, after graduating from her dual degree in Business / International Business degree (majoring in Events and International Business).
“I was assisting the Event Manager with anything they needed - my role was so diverse, working across waste and industrial operations. We all know that a lot goes into a huge event, but we tend not to think about the waste side of things. My internship was a real eye-opener. I loved it - I wished it could have gone for longer!”
At the end of the Games, Courtney joined our Internal Sales team while continuing to assist our Event Manager and building her portfolio. And in October 2019, she stepped up as our Events Specialist for Queensland.
