Summary

After a year of independent travel across Australia and Southeast Asia, I am now ready to use my wide skill set and confidence to kickstart my professional career. One thing I learnt whilst travelling is that I find myself happiest and most comfortable when socialising and building new connections/relations. I can be a great team player and can also manage tasks independently to a high standard. I have a great willingness to learn and become successful within the industry as previously demonstrated while being promoted when I was working within Australia. This taught me how to be a great leader and manage a team efficiently to complete daily tasks and achieve company KPI's.
