Summary

Recently I have been travelling and working in Europe over the past year and a half, and stayed open to gaining a broad range of new skills, and demonstrate and utilise my own. My main focus was to explore professional work and my passion for media, communications, and film production. With my passionate demeanor, I was lucky enough to be able to work in Vienna, Austria for Serviceplan Group, and Berlin, Germany for RadicalMedia. Now home (Sydney, Australia) due to my visa, I am very eager to extend my experience long-term. My resume below will illustrate my willingness to learn new skills and work hard in any challenge. I have an outgoing personality with strong communication and people skills.
