Summary
Dynamic professional with a proven track record in enhancing customer experience and engagement, as evidenced by my role at Stones of the Yarra Valley.
Expert in interpersonal communication and student engagement, I bring a customer/student-first mindset bringing a positive environment to any workplace.
I enjoy community sport where I am an active member of Surrey Park Lacrosse Club as a player, junior coach, umpire, social coordinator, clinic coach and canteen helper.
I've enjoyed travelling extensively throughout Australia with my family visiting all states and territories. I've also been fortunate to travel throughout USA, Canada and South East Asia. These experiences have helped to shape me into the person I am today.
