Resumé

Profile

I am a young, vibrant, innovative student currently studying Media at Macquarie University. Over recent years I have pursued an interesting carreer path. Leaving school after year 10 to pursue sporting goals landed me straight into University study at the age of 15. These factors have required me to develop a strong sense of commitment and determination that I believe to be of value in my study, sport, personal life and most importantly in my career path. I enjoy being part of a team environment and take pride in developing the skills of all members for the benefit of all.
