Belinda Nash, Associate Director, Donald Cant Watts Corke
Three words to describe my job… Dynamic, demanding and rewarding
When I explain my role to people outside the property industry, I say… It’s sometimes like directing traffic! There are cars, bikes, trucks and pedestrians that sometimes need a helping hand, so they don’t crash into each other on their way to their destinations – also known as project completion!
My three daily work essentials are… A skinny flat white, an iPhone and a positive attitude.
The biggest lesson I’ve learnt in my role…That there is usually a number of different ways to solve one problem.
My career motivation is… To be the person that inspires my daughters to see that their options are limitless. To create change, you must first be the change.
My advice to others considering a career in my field… Be authentic and always do what you say you’re going to do.
The building or project that embodies what I do… The smaller, faster but more difficult design and building projects where every day and every decision counts.
The inspirational quote I live by… “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” Nelson Mandela
This year I’ll be… Looking for the next complex project to deliver and trying to eat a lot less chocolate!
Who nominated Belinda? John O’Callaghan, Executive Director of VIC Project Management, Donald Cant Watts Corke
What makes Belinda a Secret Star? Belinda has been a highly valued and well-respected member of our senior leadership team since starting with us at DCWC.
