Our Team

Empathetic and intuitive, Kritz is the powerhouse behind The Big Sister Experience. Various and ever-changing shades of blonde, Kritz is a fierce and loyal Leo who has the ability to read situations (and people) like a book. 

Knowing children were a strong part of her future, Kritz graduated from RMIT with a Bachelor of Teaching. After learning from her own experiences in life and love, Kritz wanted to make more of an impact on women’s lives on a more personal level. She begun assisting her sister Bianca with live events and mentoring programs for ladies, finding great fulfilment in being able to make a real difference in the lives of the women who were learning from the program. Leading by example by opening up about her battle with an eating disorder and self harm throughout her teenage years, Kritz has a way of empathising with the girls we work with, and helping them through their own challenges. 

Today she is the heart and soul of The Big Sister Experience, leading the way with her ‘get it done’ attitude and spidey-senses. A sucker for a good home-made Poke Bowl, when she’s not meditating or smudging her apartment, Kritz can be found spring cleaning her apartment or soaking up some vitamin D from Bianca’s balcony.  

Many of you will have seen Camera Man Dave popping up like an alternatively kooky Where’s Wally either at our live events or on our social media videos. Camera Man Dave represents all we could want in a Media Man… he’s tech savvy, creative, and he thinks Bianca and Kritz are the funniest humans he’s ever had the pleasure of mingling with. When he’s not demanding biscuits to dunk in his tea whilst editing the latest Big Sister footage, you can find Dave foraging through op shops or binge watching the latest drama on Netflix. His proudest moment was when The Big Sister Experience was featured on the Today show where Dave was heard quoted as saying “oh my god my elbow made it onto national TV!” Often known to bring The Big Sister Experience to tears via his editing masterpieces, Camera Man Dave is the kind of gentle, loving soul the team loves to be around.

If you’ve ever stopped to think “WOW, what a great website” or “AMAZING, what a breeze to register for this online course!?” then you’re admiring the handy work of our IT Man Dan! Dan has pretty much been part of The Big Sister Experience team since day dot. When he’s not being hounded by Bianca or Kritz to address something that’s not as dramatic or urgent as both of them feel it is, Dan can be found hiding out bush in Gembrook. He says he loves the serenity. We think it’s to dodge phone reception and to avoid dealing with the dozens of messages from Kritz about where the entire testimonial page disappeared to when she clicked that button…! Dan truly is a treasure. His patience, encouragement, creativity and support continue to allow The Big Sister Experience to grow, evolve and flourish. He is unlike any other web designer we have ever met, and we are NEVER letting him go! (mwah-ha-ha-ha you’re stuck with us forever DAN!)

Molly’s transition into a Communications degree came as no surprise to her family and friends as she is always talking and has a passion for creating new things. As a second-year student, nearing the final units of her Bachelor of Communication and Public Relations degree, she has learnt that she loves an environment that enables her to learn new things. Both caring and creative in nature, the Big Sister Experience team and Molly share similar values when it comes to empowering younger girls, making the transition for Molly into the team seamless. She was inspired by the team’s mission and could not contain the excitement when presented with the opportunity to join the sisterhood as a new team member. Molly’s biggest weakness is her inability to say no to something when it comes up, however, has recently adopted the notion of balance into her everyday life. If you are unable to reach her, there is a good chance Molly is either in the ocean or shoveling chocolate covered almonds into her face while watching Disney+ or (of course) Friends. That being said she is definitely a go-getter and someone who you can constantly rely on.

Empathetic and creative, Tia is the ultimate team player with strong resilience to deliver on the mission. She is passionate about connecting and empowering people with visual story-telling. Having graduated from a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Linguistics, Tia is pursuing a Master of Communication degree specialising in Public Relations and Digital Media. She brings her positive energy and experience in social media management to our team.  Tia loves the energetic vibes of the Big Sister Experience team the most. She is impressed by how supportive, passionate and collaborative everyone is in the team. One of Tia’s natural habitats is the café. You can find Tia either reading a book with a nice cuppa or chatting with friends about everything in a local coffee shop. Otherwise, she is probably learning a new language (Linguistics nerd!) or sneaking to the kitchen in the middle of the night – classic. Being a ‘big sister’ figure to three young girls, Tia resonates with our missions in The Big Sister Experience of supporting and educating young girls about self-love. She believes that every baby step is a step towards personal growth and progress – challenges are her friends and the comfort zone is her frenemy. Tia is ready to grow with BSE and this community!   

I’m Cassidy and I have a love for all things fashion, beauty and ‘nerdy’ pop-culture. In my free time, I’m either practising full-glam makeup looks or snuggled up in bed with a PlayStation controller in hand. Whilst I am known to parade around anime-conventions in full cosplay, this is about the extent of my exercise routine. Self admittedly, sport has never come easily to me and whilst I can admire the gymnastic prowess of athletes, I am very happy keeping my involvement to a spectator-nature. I am so excited to be joining The Big Sister Experience! I know what it’s like to struggle with mental health and to be apart of an organisation that encourages open conversations on these personal issues is so special to me. I can’t wait to build meaningful connections with an amazing team and to be onboard projects that will help my content creation skills flourish. I believe I am a friendly team-player who can bring passion and enthusiasm to the working environment, and I’d love to use this as an opportunity to work on my overall self-confidence and willingness to try new things.

I’m Emma, I’m a big advocate for empowering and uplifting women of all ages as I have been able to assist young women in my martial arts teaching. This is what has drawn me to the team at the Big Sister Experience, with having a previous understanding of being a part of young girl’s lives has made me thrive for wanting to be able to continue this journey alongside a supportive team of women at The Big Sister Experience. The values of The Big Sister Experience are truly something I believe in and try to portray in my everyday life. Being able to be there for girls and up-lift one another is something I find so empowering. I love spending time with my loved ones around me, even if it’s a quiet games night or movie night with family and friends. In my downtime, you can usually find me going for a walk in nature with my dog, in the dojo teaching, or at the Vets helping sick and injured animals. I am very excited to be a part of the team and look forward to being able to make a difference in young girl’s lives with The Big Sister Experience.

Olivia is fascinated by social media being used as an effective tool for businesses as well as the effects it has on our wellbeing. There is no doubt that she is passionate about mental health as she knows the benefits of implementing self-care into a daily regime. Olivia is in awe of the beautiful BSE team led by the warm, caring and enthusiastic duo that is Bianca and Kritz as it is obvious that they live what they teach! If she isn’t writing a list of any variety, Olivia is rewatching one of her favourite tv shows or cooking. She loves being around her friends and family, and believes listening is the number one key in life. She can’t wait to get to know the BSE girls and delve into personal growth!
