Always A Mater Girl

Courtney Sombekke (2014)

A series of internships throughout her tertiary studies gave Courtney a clearer view of the advertising world and helped her land her first job.

After completing VCE at Mater Christi, I went on to study a Bachelor of Communications, majoring in Advertising at RMIT.  

During my time at RMIT I did a number of internships. This helped me to work out where I did and didn’t want to work and also helped me land my first job at Posterscope, as a media buyer and planner. While working at Posterscope, I was accepted into an esteemed intensive creative advertising course called 'Award school' – which further developed my skills. This was both challenging and rewarding.  

Recently, I have started a new job as an Account Manager in media sales at a company called JCDecaux. This is not where I thought I would be when I left school and I have no idea where I will be in 5 years but I am loving it and can’t wait to see what comes next!  

We are always keen to hear from former students about their journey beyond Mater Christi.

From time to time, we publish stories on social media and our website, showcasing the diverse talents, careers, and achievements of our alumnae. These help to inspire current students and highlight the diverse pathways and opportunities that are available and possible.

If you would like to share your story, please email community@materchristi.edu.au
