Meet Kimberely, who landed her dream job at Morris Group

Nov 25, 2022

The hospitality industry is all about constantly changing and personal growth. Providing a platform to work in a wide variety of positions and can even help you travel the world. You could start working as waitstaff for example, then eventually end up in a completely different role within the industry - Just like Kimberley!

Kimberley Wilkinson started working for Morris Group as a Guest Service Agent around 11 years ago at The Ville Resort-Casino, now she’s working in her dream role, Marketing Manager for their new $88 million resort Ardo due to open next year. 

Over the past 11 years, Kimberley has had 8 different roles, originally starting in hospo and working casually throughout her uni degree. 

“I’ve always loved tourism, hospitality, and marketing. Being in marketing was always my dream but I never thought that starting out working in guest services could one day lead to me being Marketing Manager and part of the Executive Management Team. I’m so glad that the happy accident of working my way up through the company has brought me to where I am today. I love having a job that is so fun, creative and challenging.”

Saying “yes” to every opportunity that’s come her way, Kimberely has learnt new skills, experiences and insights from every role she’s taken on. 

Kimberely expressed that one of her favourite aspects of hospo, especially at Morris Group is the people. 

“I wouldn’t be where I am without the support from the people I work with on a daily basis…I genuinely wake up every morning happy to come to work. I have made lifelong friends in my time here, and working here has played such a significant role in my life.”
