Summary

Energetic and motivated recent graduate seeking career in a Professional sports club. Eager to gain work experience and learn from team. Applies academic abilities and personal talents to deliver accurate, thorough work. Demonstrates excellent time management and organisational skills.


From an early age taken an interest in Sports, in particular Football. Encouraged to be as active as possible during school holidays participating in a wide range of sports. Over time I began to gain a broader depth of understanding within the business world. This insight exposed me to the importance of building relationships through networking and social media platforms including LinkedIn.


As I progressed through secondary school, I found myself interested in the wider workings of a business, the basis of financial thinking, the importance of planning, the fundamentals of Negotiating and Analysing. This interest also allied to my love of sport, guided my decision having completed 6th form studies to commence my Sports Management Degree at UA92.


In five years, I would love to be an industry expert that others can come to for ideas, help and strategy. I've had amazing mentors and managers in my past positions, so I'd like to be able to provide similar guidance, potentially taking on a leadership role. Finally, I'd like to have taken the lead on a project I'm passionate about. I'm motivated by connecting my initiatives to a company's larger goals and I'm excited by the prospect of getting more experience in that.
