Summary

I have gained valuable experience post University in both the Sales and Fibre Optics fields. These roles have helped me develop both my business acumen and professional skills which I am excited to transfer into my next role. As a high energy young professional I have a proven record of success in both high stress and sensitive restricted environments. I am self-motivated and confident working independently but also enjoy working collaboratively as part of a team towards a shared goal. I have assumed many positions of leadership throughout both my sporting and professional career due to my effective communication and desire to always lead by example.
