About Me
After achieving the career and property-related goals that we had set for ourselves back in Ireland, my partner and I took a 6 month scenic route via SE Asia to Australia. We have since spent a few months travelling the country and decided that WA is where we would like to make a long term home, close to our friends and family who have settled here. I have always had a keen interest in anything property-related, having grown up working closely with my mother whose lifelong role in London is as an independent property manager there. With that in mind my goal is to propel my career as far as possible here in Australia and see no better way to do so than to work within a company where professional growth is a possibility for the right employee. I feel I possess the qualities to successfully perform any task put before me within a fast-paced company looking for a bright new addition to their workforce.
