Volunteer Experience

Kwinana Junior Knights Football Club

For the past three years, I have served on the Committee for my local junior football club, taking on various roles ranging from Merchandise to my current position as Registrar. These roles have provided me with the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone and acquire invaluable experience in effectively interacting with people. Volunteering my time to assist people and various clubs has not only provided me with a sense of purpose but has also enabled me to acquire new skills that I can now integrate into my professional environment
