From promotions to club management
Meet Danielle, Shift Manager at Mingara — one of Australia’s leading multiplex clubs. Danielle began by applying for a promotions assistant job (her first task was handing out beach balls at Terrigal one summer). From there, her career evolved quickly. As does often happen in the club industry, her managers supported her through scholarships and training. She got to pursue a passion of hers and obtain qualifications as a fitness instructor and worked in that role at the Mingara One Fitness Centre.
It wasn’t long before Danielle’s career evolved again, where today, over a decade later, she is now the Shift Manager of the Club and oversees all of its operations, including the restaurants, fitness and aquatic centre, cafés and bars, event spaces and more.
