Missy was raised by her mum in the Airds housing estate in Western Sydney. Despite encouragement from her mum to finish high school, Missy lacked the motivation to study, rarely did her assignments and had no ambition for her future. After school, Missy lacked confidence in job interviews, and always missed out.
In an attempt to create a better lifestyle, Missy started on Work for the Dole where she was assigned work at the Airds Local Enterprise Centre. She was encouraged to enrol in one of the IT Connect courses, where she became proficient in many administrative IT skills. After completing the course, she was hired after her first job interview and now enjoys working for a steel pole and accessories company.
