Pauline O'Brien

The Wheeler Centre’s Marketing Director, Pauline O’Brien, has worked in marketing roles across the arts, in ballet and theatre, as well as for the tourism and charitable sectors.

Brought up in Melbourne, she currently lives in the Yarra Valley winegrowing region northeast of Melbourne.

Kenneth Cook’s Wake in Fright made a huge impression on her as a teenager and began something of an obsession with the outback. This led Pauline to a job working part-time as a cook on coach camping tours around Australia for a couple of years, taking trips to place like the Tanimi and Oodnadatta tracks.

Pauline has a degree in English and a Masters of Business (Marketing).
