Summary

Please read below on how my past work experiences and the person I am, would be of great benefit to your company.

My career journey began in 2020 with LJ Hooker Property Complete after serving in the Army Reserves for three years, where I was in the infantry. During my time in the Army, I learned to lead groups and work as a team with people of different genders, ages, and ethnicities. I joined LJ Hooker as an Administrator when COVID-19 first started in 2020. After two years, I moved from Administration to Head of Contract Processing for Sales, and by the end of 2022, I transitioned into a Sales position, leaving the Army Reserves to fully pursue my career. Since then, through continuous growth, training, and experience, I have refined my expertise by learning from colleagues and industry peers. I have excelled in negotiating, prospecting, and relationship building, allowing me to connect with my clients on a personal level and understand them beyond mere numbers.

I live by these 2 quotes everyday:
- In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself, that is the meaning of inner strength!
- Treat everybody as if they are family and prioritize building genuine connections over chasing money, as success will follow naturally.

In my personal life, I am a proud dog dad to my beloved German Shepherd, Matilda. I love learning about new cultures and am currently learning Japanese. I enjoy sports and support FC Barcelona and Red Bull F1. During the FIFA World Cup, you’ll find me cheering for the green and gold Matildas or Socceroos.
