A Masig Island teenager looks to have a bright future on the rugby league field and in the workplace after graduating from NRL Cowboys House last year.
Zaleah Mosby-Nona, 18, has taken the next step towards achieving her future career goals by earning a role as a trainee administration officer with the Cowboys Community Foundation after finishing her secondary education in Townsville in 2024.
She said she was thrilled to embark on the journey, which will allow her to assist the organisation and community that supported her.
“I’m very grateful for the opportunity to learn new skills, meet new people and grow as a person and an employee, it will also provide me with excellent career options in the future,” Mosby-Nona said.
“My main role is supporting the team with administration tasks and helping out where I can for community programs like the Cowboys 50-50 Charity Raffle.
“This job is also rewarding because it’s a way I can give back to the community and the organisation which has helped support me.”
When Mosby-Nona is not behind her desk, she can be found working hard in the Cowboys gym as one of only 12 under-19 players in the club’s Junior Women’s Elite Pathways Squad, which nurtures young talent for opportunities in the NRLW.
Cowboys Community Foundation chief executive officer Fiona Pelling said Mosby-Nona was a wonderful new asset to the club.
“We have had the pleasure of getting to know Zaleah over the years she was a member of our Cowboys House family; she was always so kind, had beautiful manners and an ability and commitment to support other new young girls in their journeys,” Ms Pelling said.
“Our NRL Cowboys House career transitions team worked with Zaleah to prepare her for this opportunity, she did a fantastic job in her interview and has already slotted into our team seamlessly.”
