Eddie DAY
Adelaide,SA
Summary
I am currently a University student studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of South Australia. In 2021 I moved to Adelaide from the Riverland (approximately 2.5 hours away) to pursue my studies. This posed challenges although I was adaptable and quickly assimilated into the new life. Coming from the Riverland I have had a wide range of jobs with many being hands-on. This variety of work has given me many unique skills and made me adaptable to any workplace. Outside of my studies I enjoy playing tennis which I have played at a div 1 level both in the Riverland and Adelaide. I also play Golf regularly at an adequate level (18 handicap) and Soccer which I no longer play at a club level. I'm a good pianist having taken lessons and exams all through my schooling. Also I have coached Junior tennis in the Riverland with young kids at the Berri Tennis club.
