Summary
As can be seen within the above, I have been a loyal employee for many years. I can comfortably state that I have been good for my employers as they have been very good for me. I have been able to work both individually and within team environments. I have the confidence to enter into new markets and explore opportunities. These markets need strong communication and ongoing levels of education to equip brokers with the information to drive better business outcomes. However, after many years in the corporate world, it is time for me to move on and explore other opportunities. This such opportunity within the sport of lacrosse would be very rewarding and something I am very passionate about.
