Summary

I am currently in year 10. I am a motivated and adaptable person with a proven track record of leading peers in my school. Having attended Howqua in year 9, I learnt resilience and the importance of team work. I possess strong communication and interpersonal skills and I thrive in fast paced, dynamic environments. I excel at problem-solving and decision-making.

The experience I have gained as a volunteer through Life Saving Victoria has been invaluable in learning patience.
