Summary

I have always been a person heavily involved in sport, whether playing, coaching or spectating. Having grown up in the basketball community, I learned the importance of cohesiveness, family, support, integrity and empathy from a young age. My initial plan after school was to become a Secondary Health and Physical Education teacher because it combined my two passions of sport and helping people. I have been studying a Bachelor of Education at Griffith University, Gold Coast over the last two years but have recently decided I wanted to pursue a more direct avenue in helping individuals in need. I studied abroad at college in the United States for two years from 2018-2020, undertaking general studies and playing collegiate basketball. Since returning from overseas, I have accumulated years of experience in different professions, predominantly coaching. I have trained and built relationships with athletes and people of all ages and from all walks of life, with significantly varying capacities. It is my desire to continue working in the world of support and care as that is where I feel I belong.
