Summary

My name is John Irving, I am originally from Warren NSW and moved to Sydney from 2021 to complete my Bachelor of Applied Science (Exercise & Sports Science) at the University of Sydney. I have strong agricultural backgrounds with ties in many fields including sciences, sports, farming, music and French to name some. I am skilled, diligent and experienced in different professions, be that sports coaching or agricultural work. My values, in all work environments, are dedication and commitment over a long period of time, as well as surpassing expectations. I'm a fast learner and thrive on being 'thrown in the deep end'.
