TRACY SHEEN
Tracy knew she wanted to be an entrepreneur around the age of five. Both her parents were self-employed, and without having the correct language to explain why, she knew she liked the sense of controlling your own destiny.
From selling mobile phones in 1990, through to being involved with the launch of SMS technology. Every major technological step that entrepreneurs have taken throughout the last three decades, Tracy has been a part of.
TARA DIVERSI
As an enthusiastic 22-year-old, equipped with my freshly printed Masters degree, experience and a passion to change the world, never in my wildest dreams did I expect that I would not find a job in my hometown, Cairns.
I applied for every job advertised, door knocked, networked and volunteered. All the so called “right” doors opened for me, except one with a salary attached. I was devastated and never once thought that my passion to help Indigenous Australians improve their health, may not be realised.
BRODY OXENHAM
Brody Oxenham helps business owners strengthen their brand and generate more leads, through his agency Manexo Media. However, he values giving back locally, and dedicates part of his week to helping small businesses, soloproneurs or startups get their head around marketing through Y(E)P Cairns & Y(E)P Ipswich.
His background in marketing includes graduating at JCU Cairns with a degree in Marketing & Economics, working as a digital marketing coordinator for Cairns Airport & Mackay Airport, and being part of the committee for the Cairns Young Chamber.
