Summary
I moved to Australia from Ireland at the start of January and I'm currently living in Sydney. I'm looking to complete my 88 days of regional work starting in March. I am available to relocate within the two to three weeks and have experience in hospitality, primarily in bar work. I am keen to continue working in this area but am also open to other roles within the hospitality sector. I am a hard-working, adaptable team player with a strong work ethic and a willingness to take on new challenges. My experience along with my positive attitude make me an ideal candidate for a role in hospitality.

Interests
I have a strong passion for sports and fitness, with a particular focus on rugby union. I actively participated in rugby from the age of ten until the age of twenty-two, during which time I had the honor of serving as both a captain and vice-captain on multiple occasions. My involvement in rugby has not only cultivated my leadership skills but also resulted in numerous victories in leagues and cups.
Additionally, I possess a wide-ranging interest in the sciences. In my spare time, I consistently engage in personal development by completing free online courses through platforms such as Alison.com and Khanacademy.org. Moreover, I enjoy expanding my scientific knowledge by listening to science podcasts
