Summary
I graduated from high school in December 2020 before commencing university in January 2021. I initially studied several units of Engineering prior to moving into the architectural field where I am currently completing a Bachelors degree. In this time, I've honed my adaptability and gained valuable experience across the areas of working in teams, customer service, administrative tasks, retail, and caregiving. I'm currently completing my last year of academic studies allowing me to allocate more of my time to gaining professional experience. Driven by my appreciation for a healthy work environment and my eagerness to amass meaningful professional experience, I am actively seeking a team where I can contribute wholeheartedly and continue to grow personally and professionally.
