Summary
Since age 14, I have been involved in my community as a teacher where I was entrusted with teaching kids my own age and younger. My family moved back to Australia when I was 13, and I went to school into grade 9 despite being unable to speak any English and I still graduated top 5 in school 4 years later. In my limited experience in sales, I have been able to draw on my life experiences as the son of a refugee parents, who went back home to help rebuild their country, the importance of empathy and the power small help to transform one's life.
It's for these reasons I believe to be a great fit for this job.
