Summary
PROFILE With the combination of being a professional Athlete/Coach in the AFL for 15 years, the launch of my own business in the health food industry (FMCG sector) and being a licensed Real Estate Agent ; I have gained considerable experience across a broad range of sectors. Along the way I have developed vital skills in leadership, coaching, public speaking, sales, interpersonal skills and the vast amount of skills required for running a business which has a food product in stores Australia wide. It is with this experience to date that will not only aid my development but enable me to thrive in whatever I pursue next. I am currently seeking the opportunity to combine my skills and enthusiasm in a new and challenging position.
