Whether it’s starring on national TV, taking a punt on a new job, or moving countries for love, Karen McDonald firmly believes there are great opportunities out there if you are open to them. Starting her Roy Hill journey seven years ago when she took a two-week contract as an Advisor in the HR team, Karen’s time has been filled with many opportunities and she wouldn’t change a thing. Now an Analyst in the Community and Indigenous Affairs team, Karen says her variety of roles have taught her valuable skills along the way but something that runs through them all is her love of interacting with people. “Our family is so important to us and through the generosity of Mrs Rinehart, we have achieved a lot of goals for our family. “If you had asked me when I agreed to that two-week contract, if I’d still be at Roy Hill seven years later working with my husband, I probably would have laughed. “But it was a great decision.”
