My Dynamic Career - Nat Cameron

Hi,

I’m Nat Cameron, and I’ve been the Executive Assistant to the Chief Financial Officer at the Town of Victoria Park since 31 October 2022. When I explain my job to my mum – I tell her being an Executive Assistant is like riding a bike, except the bike is on fire, you’re on fire, and everything is on fire. Jokes aside, my role involves managing my boss’s schedule, planning meetings, and keeping everything running smoothly.

I was inspired to join the Town because I heard the culture was fantastic and the work-life balance suited me perfectly. I realised I enjoyed working here pretty much straight away. When my Executive and I are in sync, it’s an easy partnership, and there’s no Sunday gloom about coming to work on Monday. I genuinely enjoy my job and the opportunities it brings.

One of the biggest challenges at the Town is the lack of resources. However, I’ve learned to manage my time and prioritise effectively to overcome this. Flexibility is my number one value, and having a flexible role is my current priority. The Town’s culture supports this, which is incredibly important to me.

Since starting here, I’ve grown in confidence, knowing I have the support of my boss and peers. This support has been a huge aspect of my development. Looking ahead, I’m excited about the opportunities to grow in my career and the potential to leverage technology in new ways.

The future looks bright, and I’m thrilled to be part of it.
