Inspiring others to authentically connect with nature through storytelling and experience development is what lights Courtney up. She has worked on a diverse range of projects in both the government and commercial sectors in Canada, Queensland and on the Great Barrier Reef (physically!). Courtney has thrown into the mix nature-based tour guiding, sales and marketing, content development, social media strategy and experience design. She has worked on Federal and State government-funded projects for small businesses, not for profit and large Destination Management Organisations. Courtney has over ten years of practical experience in the Queensland tourism industry, previously holding positions at Queensland National Parks, Tourism and Events Queensland, Australian Tourism Data Warehouse, Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort and O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat.
