Summary

The opportunity to embark on a career as a professional athlete positioned me extremely well to transition into the next phase of my working life. Working and performing in an elite sporting environment provided invaluable experience and support that enabled me to develop a diverse range of essential skills. My journey with high performance teammates and coaching groups has resulted in profound personal and professional growth whilst gaining the understanding and importance of building strong professional relationships.

I continue to be highly motivated, self-disciplined and driven with a passion to learn and improve.

I have a deep understanding of strong working culture and how it is developed and I am also passionate about passing on my skills and knowledge in order to help others or to perform any role to a high degree.
