Sophie Hamstra 

Founder, HR Consultant & Career Coach

SJ People Consulting

Working in HR makes me an unofficial psychologist and multitasking detective who also acts as an event planner, while resolving conflicts and keeping the peace. A pivoting, unaccredited lawyer with insane record keeping skills. See also: a shoulder to cry on, investigative ninja.

​

Jokes aside, I currently work internally as a HR Consultant, but I’m working on going external.. eeekkkk the big bad external world. Work Collective has been my thinking ground.

​

Favourite cafe on the Coast:

Lords, Ettalong. Highly recommend their “Lord Bae”

​

A Fun Fact About Yourself:

My very first job as a 15 year old was with a company called BM Promotions, as a CLOWN. I worked at children’s birthday parties face painting and balloon modelling. I can still make the best balloon sword and doggo! If you see me in Work Collective, you can call me my stage name…. Bubbles 

​

Fave thing to do on weekends on the Coast:

Saturday morning ritual – Fusion Pilates class at Belle Movement, a Lord Bae and a coffee from Lords and a chill in our backyard by the pool with the family.

​

What you love most about living on the Coast:

The lack of Sydney traffic and mayhem. People are chill.

​

What you love most about working out of Work Collective:

Getting sh#t done! Not feeling the need to throw on a load of washing or be distracted by other household chores! & meeting new people and having a chat about everything and anything in the kitchen.
