Summary

"Strong all around academic achiever with diverse success in co-curricular activities and strong community values"

.

With consistently high academic marks across a broad range of subjects, upon finishing my HSC I have began working at the Great Northern, however I am looking to extend my pre-existing english and communication skills into a more retail focused area that would allow me to work during the day. As a self motivated person I have built upon my natural predisposition towards group environments through my lengthy participation in group extracurriculars. With such activities such as Basketball, Netball and Waterpolo demonstrative of my ability to apply myself to a team environment and to be a reliable member of a collective. My time in the first debating has helped to further develop my extensive english skills and affirm my strong communication skills. These are attributes that have been extended during my tome as a boarder at Kincoppal Rose Bay where I learnt to develop relationships with individuals from diverse global backgrounds.
