Vice President: Rebecca Ramsey (2008)

Graduating in 2008 after Boarding at St Hilda’s School since 2002, Rebecca took some time off and enjoyed life before moving to Sydney in early 2011 where she secured a job as a receptionist at an Eastern suburbs Real Estate company. Here, Rebecca learnt all aspects of the business from the ground up, rising up in the company to become Senior Property Manager.

Upon relocating to the Gold Coast, Rebecca ran the Property Management department for a boutique Real Estate company in Burleigh Heads before deciding to make her dream a reality and open her own Real Estate Property Management company in June 2017 called Ramsey Property Co. Having a strong connection and continuous involvement with St Hilda’s since graduating and with her niece commencing at the school in Year 7 in 2022, it was with pride and joy that Rebecca joined the OGA Committee to help grow the Alumni and inspire future generations of the sisterhood that is the St Hilda’s OGA.
