Laurie
Resourcing Manager, Auntie and Keeper of a Golden Legacy
"I am wearing my gold nugget necklace which my Grandpa gave me. The gold nugget came out of the ground the day I was born from a site called Tuckabianna which Westgold now own."
For Laurie, mining isn’t just a career—it’s in her blood. As a Resourcing Manager at Westgold, she plays a key role in shaping the workforce, but her connection to the industry goes back generations. The gold nugget necklace she wears is a treasured gift from her grandad, who mined it from Tuckabianna the very day she was born. Today, she proudly works for the company that now owns that site, continuing a family legacy in mining. One day, she will pass her gold nugget necklace to her niece, Madison, ensuring the family’s golden connection to mining lives on.
