Ellie MacDonald

Compliance Consultant

Where are you from?

Norwich, UK.

​

What's your past work experience?

In 2021, I qualified as a social worker in the UK and worked in Child Protection for 2 and 1/2 years before relocating to Australia. Since being in Australia, I continued work in the social care sector inclusive of roles within the housing and family violence field. However, decided to try something new working as a compliance consultant in the social care team, here at Tradewind.

Tell us about yourself...

I love travelling and last January travelled the East Coast (10/10 would recommend). Since being in Australia, I have started reformer Pilates which is my new favourite hobby, and now go to every Saturday. I am such an animal lover and obsessed with miniature dachshunds! During my free time, I also enjoy spending quality time with my friends and family.

An interesting fact about me is that I have never broken a bone before!

What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given?

The best advice I ever have heard is ''Step out of your comfort zone and face your fears. Growth takes place when you’re challenged, not when you’re comfortable.”
