A proud Noongar Man from southern Western Australia, Corey joined Sodexo in 2018 as a casual relief pool working in Housekeeping or as a Kitchen Hand. This started his humble journey to becoming a young people leader within the business. 


Advancing the skills of Aboriginal employees wishing to step into a leadership role, or those wishing to develop their capabilities, Corey was offered to step up as a Housekeeping supervisor at Hamilton Village in Port Hedland after just one year. Corey thoroughly enjoyed his newfound responsibilities, and in 2020, he was offered the role of Cleaning Manager. 


In appreciation of his achievements, Corey undertook the role of Trainee Village Manager in mid-2021 with the full support of his team and manager. Completing his traineeship, he eventually stepped into his current role as Assistant Village Manager at Japukayinya Village in the Pilbara.
