The MLMC Old Collegians' Association would like to extend a warm invitation to all members of the MLMC community to join us at our annual Business Breakfast, to be held on Tuesday 14 May. The Business Breakfast is an opportunity to meet other members of the MLMC community and local businesses, enjoy a delicious breakfast catered by our wonderful VCAL students and be inspired by our two guest speakers.
This year’s wonderful guest speakers will be two of our Old Collegians, businesswoman Anna Baird (Class of 1995) and journalist John Kehoe (Class of 2000).
Anna is owner and director at Bared Footwear, a Melbourne-based fashion footwear business she began in 2008 when, after seven years working as a podiatrist, she saw a gap in the market for shoes she could recommend and be happy to wear. She began with a small store in Toorak Village selling women's shoes. Bared now employs over 40 people with a 300sq store in Melbourne's CBD and the online business continues to grow in both men's and women's shoes.
John is a senior reporter in Canberra for the Australian Financial Review, and was previously the newspaper’s US correspondent in Washington for five years. John studied Arts (Politics)/Commerce (Economics) at Monash University. He worked at the Federal Treasury in Canberra for two years before following his journalism dream with the AFR, all while being a part-time sports broadcaster for Triple M radio in Sydney. He had started out broadcasting local footy in the Yarra Valley for community radio, even phoning the occasional classmate or teacher on air.
